The Boston Celtics are planning to sign veteran center Charles Bassey to a 10-day contract, according to league sources. Bassey, who has played for the Spurs, Grizzlies, and 76ers over the past five NBA seasons, has been playing for the Golden State Warriors' G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, and will now get a chance to contribute to the Celtics as they deal with injuries in the frontcourt.
Why it matters
The Celtics have been dealing with injuries to their big men, so adding Bassey on a short-term deal gives them some much-needed depth and experience in the frontcourt as they make a push for the playoffs.
The details
Bassey was a second-round pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in 2021 and has averaged 4.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and nearly one block per game over his three-year NBA career. He's spent time with the Spurs, Grizzlies, and 76ers, and has shown promise when healthy. The Celtics will give him a chance to contribute over the next 10 games as they evaluate his fit with the team.
- The Celtics plan to sign Bassey after their matchup against the Washington Wizards on Saturday, March 14, 2026.
- Bassey's 10-day contract with the Celtics will likely run through the end of March.
