The Celtics will need to fill one of those spots in the next two weeks to bring their roster back up to the league minimum with 14 players. Team president of basketball operations Brad Stevens shed some light on the team’s plans after a quiet day on Thursday.

Throughout the season, it's been clear the Celtics are short on wing depth. They lost Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk during the summer. Sam Hauser's issues with lower back spams have showcased the Celtics need to add another wing before the postseason arrives.

Just one day after the Celtics traded Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets, the 22-year-old guard will need to find a new home. Multiple reports indicate that the Rockets have elected to waive Springer after officially completing the trade with Boston on Thursday morning.

The Rockets are acquiring their 2028 second-round draft pick from Atlanta in exchange for taking on the salary of veteran Hawks center Cody Zeller.

The Celtics are 9-1 against the Mavericks in their past 10 games, the only loss coming in Game 4 of the NBA Finals last season.

Whether or not the Brow suits up for his new ball club, Boston would do well to try to keep their guard up for this contest.
