Milos Uzan is off the Boston Celtics roster as of Sunday. The move follows a report that the team waived four camp invitees.
The move
Milos Uzan is no longer on the Boston Celtics roster, according to the official roster checked Sunday, Oct. 18. The rookie guard had been with Boston in training camp. A report from hoopsrumors on Saturday, Oct. 17, said the Celtics waived four camp invitees; no confidence level is attached to that report. The team has not confirmed terms publicly in any material included here.
The money
Uzan's contract for 2026-27 is on file at $1.4 million, though with him off the roster that figure no longer applies to Boston's active payroll. The Celtics carry $203.9 million across 17 contracts for 2026-27, over the luxury tax. The cap is set at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Uzan, 23, has no NBA line from last season; he enters this transaction as a rookie. Boston's backcourt and wing rotation last season was led by Jaylen Brown at 34.4 minutes and 28.7 points, Derrick White at 34.1 minutes and 16.5 points, Jayson Tatum at 32.6 minutes and 21.8 points, Payton Pritchard at 32.3 minutes and 17.0 points, and Anfernee Simons at 24.5 minutes and 14.2 points. The Celtics' roster stands at 17 players, within the standard limit of 15 plus three two-way slots.
