Jock Landale Signs Four-Year Deal with Boston Celtics
Celtics Acquire Backup Center and Future Second-Round Pick
Landale Impresses in Celtics Debut
WEB Landale closed Friday's 116-107 win over the Trail Blazers with 20 points, shooting 8-13 from the field, 0-3 from three-point range, and 4-4 from the free throw line. The Australian center played a significant role in the Celtics' victory, contributing with his physical presence, rebounding, and scoring ability.
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Celtics have signed Landale to a four-year contract. The 27-year-old brings valuable experience to Boston, having played in the NBA, the Australian National Basketball League (NBL), and the EuroLeague.
Landale's signing addresses the Celtics' need for a reliable backup center behind Robert Williams III. The Australian's size, athleticism, and competitive spirit make him a suitable option to provide minutes and contribute to the team's success.
In addition to Landale, the Celtics also acquired backup center Zeke Nnaji and a future second-round pick from the Denver Nuggets. This move further strengthens Boston's bench and adds depth to the roster competing for another championship.
