While not quite as splashy as a trade for Damian Lillard or Jrue Holiday, the Boston Celtics continue to work on their roster for the 2023-24 NBA season, with Spotrac’s Keith Smith reporting that the Celtics have signed guard Jordan Schakel to an unguaranteed contract for training camp.
Schakel, an undrafted wing out of San Diego State University from the 2021 class, has since played for the Washington Wizards and their G League affiliate, the Capital City Go Gos, and most recently with the Santa Cruz Warriors, the developmental affiliate of the Golden State Warriors in that league.
Buy Celtics TicketsThere, the 6-foot-6 shooting guard put up 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 40.7% from beyond the arc, 45.5% from the field, and 84.0% from the free throw line in 27 total appearances.
Several unresolved storylines could potentially impact the team’s 2023-24 campaign significantly should they remain in such a state much longer than the start of the regular season. https://t.co/UlOI51NZRn

Schakel had a tougher time in his two appearances at the NBA level last season, putting up just 1.5 points and 0.5 assists per contest with the Wizards last season.
The Californian will compete against other non- or partially guaranteed players like Dalano Banton, Luke Kornet, Svi Mykhailiuk, and Lamar Stevens in training camp for one of the team’s roster spots.
