The Boston Celtics have officially signed guard Devin Carter, a former lottery pick of the Sacramento Kings, to an Exhibit 10 contract as they prepare for training camp. Carter, who was the Big East Player of the Year, is known for his defensive skills, which could draw comparisons to Celtics guard Derrick White.

Carter's signing comes approximately two weeks before the start of training camp. The Celtics have added him to a growing list of players who have transitioned from the Kings to Boston, joining the ranks of previous acquisitions like those who have thrived under the watch of Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens.
The Atlanta Hawks had previously waived Carter, reportedly allowing him to audition for other teams. His signing represents a low-risk opportunity for Boston, especially in light of the injuries in their backcourt. The Celtics now have 20 players on their training camp roster, with the potential for Carter to secure a spot on the final team.
In addition to Carter, the Celtics also signed Caleb Grill, indicating a strategic approach to rounding out their player options ahead of the upcoming season.
