After years of struggles, the Boston Celtics finally ended their championship drought, etching their name in history. As Celtics fans hope for continued success next season, uncertainty has emerged regarding forward Oshae Brissett’s future with the team.
Brissett has reportedly declined his $2.5 million player option with Boston for the 2024-25 season, opting to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The Celtics had signed Brissett last summer, but his performance in the 2023-24 season was not particularly impressive.
In his lone season with the Celtics, the 6-foot-7 forward played in 55 regular-season games, averaging 3.7 points and 2.9 rebounds.
Brissett was on the outer edges of the rotation during the regular season and saw minimal action in the postseason. He averaged just 1.6 points and 1.4 rebounds per game in 10 postseason appearances.
