Fans of the Boston Celtics have yet to see the team’s two recently signed 10-day players Kelan Martin and Malik Fitts play for the Celtics, but the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach reported Friday that he is hearing the team will bring both players back for a second 10-day contract. Thus far, the duo of wings have been functioning more as an insurance policy for the team’s depth in case of injury than as players actually expected to take the court to date.
Fitts, a product of the Saint Mary’s Gaels NCAA basketball program, has played just 3 minutes for the Celtics so far in a single appearance for Boston that saw the 6-foot-8 forward pull down a single rebound and miss his sole shot attempt, a 3-pointer.
Martin, a Butler product recruited by Celtics team president Brad Stevens just before he left to helm Boston as head coach in 2013, also played in the same contest for the same 3-minute span, missing two shot attempts and also pulling down a single board.
Was told that Kelan Martin and Malik Fitts are both expected to sign second 10-day contracts with the Celtics after their current deals expire tonight.
