Overview
- Harper was officially re-signed on Monday, July 6, according to the NBA transaction log and the Celtics’ press release.
- Reporters say the deal is roughly four years and $13.7 million with the first two years fully guaranteed, a non-guaranteed third year, and a fourth-year team option and about $6.5 million guaranteed in total.
- Boston converted Harper from an Exhibit 10 to a two-way and then to a standard contract during the 2025–26 season before offering the new multi-year deal.
- He earned the contract by averaging 25.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 18 games for the Maine Celtics and by filling a late-season rotation role that included a Game 7 start.
- The signing secures affordable wing depth for Boston while giving Harper roster stability and illustrates the franchise’s approach of turning strong G League production into cost-controlled NBA rotation pieces.
