ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Celtics and Ron Harper Jr. have agreed to a three-year, $9 million contract.
To get the deal done, the Celtics declined Harper’s $2.6 million option. He appeared in 29 games last season, 18 more than his first three NBA seasons combined. In those appearances, Harper averaged 4.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11.8 minutes. The new deal gives Harper added security, but he’s unlikely to affect fantasy basketball next season.
