Former Celtics forward gets buyout, allowed to sign with Boston
Former Celtics forward gets buyout,
allowed to sign with Boston
After accepting a buyout, a different
former forward for the Celtics is now a
free agent. After being bought out by the
Pistons, Mike Muscala is now qualified to
play in the postseason for his next team,
as reported by ESPN’s Adrian
Wojnarowski.
According to Wojnarowski, some playoff
teams should show interest in Muscala.
Even though the 32-year-old was traded
by the organization during the offseason,
he is still qualified to join with the
Celtics. The C’s have the option to sign
him because the Wizards traded him to
the Pistons before the deadline.
In 37 games this season with the Pistons
and Wizards, Muscala is averaging 3.8
points and 2.8 rebounds. Although he
might not be the first choice for many
suitors, the big man might offer some
outside shooting and a seasoned
presence in the locker room.
However, Muscala’s signing with the
Celtics is not a given. There is some room
because Boston has an extra roster spot
after the trade deadline. However, the C’s
may wait to fill that roster position until
close to the end of the season, so it’s
unclear right now what they plan to do
with it.
Muscala might possibly be seeking more
of a chance on a playoff club because
playing time in Boston will be scarce.
