Hawks Waive Devin Carter; Celtics Eyeing Potential Signing

The Atlanta Hawks have officially waived point guard Devin Carter, who was acquired in a deal from Sacramento earlier this summer. Despite taking on Carter's $5.1 million salary, the Hawks faced a roster crunch, prompting the decision to release him. Once he clears waivers, Carter will become a free agent.

Reports indicate that the Boston Celtics are interested in signing Carter. With an open roster spot available, the Celtics could offer him a minimum contract, and his two-way eligibility may provide additional flexibility for the team as they finalize their roster.

Carter spent two seasons with the Sacramento Kings, playing a total of 74 games. Last season, he averaged 8.9 points per game but struggled with his shooting, particularly from three-point range, where he hit just 26.3%. The Celtics, known for their emphasis on perimeter shooting, may be curious to see if Carter can improve in that area.

In other league news, the NBA Board of Governors meeting is scheduled for next week in New York. Key topics include the findings and penalties imposed on the Los Angeles Clippers, as well as discussions around potential expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. The outcomes of these discussions could have significant implications for the league moving forward.
