Celtics Sign Charles Bassey to Second Ten-Day Contract

0:00On March 25, the Boston Celtics are signing Senator Charles Bassi to a second 10-day contract. This comes right as his first one, which started on March 14, expires today on March 25. The move helps them meet league minimum roster rules while staying under the luxury tax threshold. Bosset is a 25-year-old 6-foot-tin big man with 5 years in the NBA. He has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, San Antonio Spurs, and Memphis Grizzlies, appearing in 118 games total. His career averages sit at 4.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and solid shooting at 62.7% from the field. So far with Boston this season, Bassi has seen just 4 minutes across 2 games, mostly in mop-up time. He scored 4 points, grabbed 2 rebounds, and added a steal. Fans might remember him from summer league last year, where he averaged 15.3 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game. This deal bumps the Celtics roster back to 14 standard contracts for the next 10 days.
