Jamaican-American small forward Josh Minott has signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract with the Boston Celtics, with a team option in the second year. The 22-year-old, originally drafted 45th overall in 2022, spent three seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves but struggled to secure a consistent rotation role.
Minott now joins the reigning NBA champions during a transitional period, with Boston expected to rebuild following the loss of key players Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and the season-long injury to superstar Jayson Tatum.
A former standout at the University of Memphis, Minott has also committed to representing Jamaica internationally, having starred for the national team at the 2019 FIBA Centrobasket U17 Championship.
