The Boston Celtics have signed rookie forward Dillon Mitchell to a two-way contract, keeping him from returning to college and adding him to the organization’s roster plans.

Mitchell’s agreement gives Boston another young forward to develop while also affecting how the Celtics approach the roster spots that remain available. A two-way contract provides a different path from a standard roster deal and offers flexibility as the team continues shaping its group.

The signing therefore turns attention to what openings are still left for Boston and how the Celtics could use them. The roster outlook now includes Mitchell’s place alongside the team’s remaining decisions for the upcoming season.
