Celtics reportedly make yet another addition to their roster

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens joked that his team’s work in defense of their NBA title would begin one day after the parade, if not sooner.

It turns out that not even September can come with a cooldown, either, as the Celtics made yet another move, with Jordan Schakel added to Boston’s roster for next month’s training camp. Schakel’s deal was first reported by CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning.

A 6-foot-6 shooter, Schakel has made six NBA appearances in his career (all with the Wizards), with makes on two of his 13 tries (2-for-7 from three-point range), along with eight rebounds and two steals in just over 36 minutes of total time on the court.

Prior to his NBA run, the 26-year-old Schakel was a standout at San Diego State University, and actually left the program with the third-most makes from beyond the arc in school history (225).

Schakel also isn’t completely foreign to the C’s organization, as he spent some with time with G-League Maine a year ago, with 13.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game over 13 games with the Celtics before suffering what was a season-ending knee injury. That 13-game run in Maine also saw Schakel shoot 44 percent and 41.1 percent from three-point range. 

Similar to the deal the Celtics signed Lonnie Walker IV to last month, Schakel’s deal with the Celtics will be an Exhibit 10 contract. Schakel’s signing also brings Boston up to 21 training camp contracts, which is the maximum allowed.

Celtics release full 2024-25 schedule

After an early preview gave us an update on four of the games on the Celtics’ schedule for next season, Thursday came with the rest of the Green’s 2024-25 released by the NBA.

Back on top of the NBA world with a five-game NBA Finals series victory over the Mavs’ one-two punch of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the Celtics’ pursuit of Banner 19 will kick off with a banner-raising night against the Knicks on Oct. 22, while the year as a whole will see them look to become the first NBA team to go back-to-back since the Warriors accomplished the feat in 2017 and 2018. And the Celtics, for what it’s worth, have not repeated as NBA champions since back-to-back titles in 1968 and 1969.

And for the second year in a row, the NBA will have their in-season tournament (the NBA Cup), with the Celtics slotted in East Group C, which is comprised of the Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Washington Wizards. The C’s will play four designated Group Play games that will be held on “Cup Nights” every Tuesday and Friday from Nov. 12 through Dec. 3, with one game against each opponent, two games at home and two on the road. Boston will host the Hawks on Nov. 12, and the Cavs on Nov. 19, and play the Wizards in Washington on Nov. 22, and the Bulls in Chicago on Nov. 29.

The team with the best standing in Group Play games from each of the six groups will advance to the Knockout Rounds. One wild card team from each conference (the second-place finisher with the best record in Group Play games) will also advance and complete the eight-team Tournament bracket.  

The complete schedule can be found below, with all times listed in EST, and all games available to be heard on the Celtics Radio Network...
