Celtics Re-Sign Ron Harper Jr. to Four-Year, $13.7 Million Deal

Overview

• The Celtics announced the signing on Monday and NBA transaction records confirm the deal as four years for $13.7 million.
• Reporting from multiple outlets says the first two seasons are fully guaranteed, the third year is non‑guaranteed, and the fourth year is a team option.
• An earlier report of a three‑year, $9 million agreement has been superseded by the updated four‑year terms provided by team and league sources.
• Harper rose through Boston’s pipeline this season after joining on an Exhibit 10 in September, moving to a two‑way deal in October and being converted to a standard contract on April 4.
• His dominant G League run with the Maine Celtics — 25.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in 18 games — and modest NBA minutes last season explain Boston’s move to lock in low‑cost wing depth and roughly $6.5 million in guarantees.
