Isaiah Stewart To Boston Celtics Is A Done Deal

 

 

Isaiah Stewart has drawn the attention of competing organisations, including the Boston Celtics, according to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

The Piston is pulling down just under seven rebounds per game and scoring 10.2 points on 45.5% shooting from the field on average. With 3.6 attempts per game, he is hitting a career-high 36.7% of free throws from beyond the arc.

For the past few months, Boston has been observing Stewart. Edwards verified earlier in the summer a June story stating that the Celtics, among other teams, inquired about Stewart’s availability.

For those who don’t know, Stewart’s supporters might recall that in 2021, LeBron elbowed him in the face, and Stewart needed to be restrained.

Boston appeared to lack depth in the frontcourt heading into the season, particularly considering Kristaps Porzingis’ history of injuries and Al Horford’s decision to miss one back-to-back game. Boston’s top three big men were out from last week’s game against the Magic due to injuries to KP, Horford, and Luke Kornet.
