Chris Boucher has signed a one-year contract with the Boston Celtics for $3.3 million, bringing valuable experience as a key bench player from the Toronto Raptors. Boucher, who holds franchise records for points, rebounds, blocks, minutes, and games played off the bench, is expected to fill the void left by the departure of Georges Niang. Boucher averaged 10.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 50 games last season with Toronto. The Celtics’ financial maneuvering by trading Niang also significantly reduced their tax penalties and salary costs.
