Breaking news for basketball fans! The Maine Celtics have just added some serious firepower, signing veteran point guard Keon Johnson! This move is set to shake up the team, and here's what you need to know.
Keon Johnson, a former first-round draft pick by the New York Knicks back in 2021, is officially joining the Maine Celtics. He's expected to suit up this weekend, bringing a wealth of experience to the team.
Last season, Johnson made a significant impact playing for the Brooklyn Nets, where he played in 79 games, starting 56 of them. During that time, he averaged an impressive 10.6 points and 2.2 assists per game. Before his time with the Nets, Johnson also played for the Los Angeles Clippers, who traded for him shortly after he was drafted, and the Portland Trail Blazers.
Johnson's journey to the NBA began at the University of Tennessee, and now he's ready to make his mark with the Maine Celtics. He's scheduled to play in Sunday's game at Westchester. To make room for Johnson on the roster, the Celtics made a strategic move, waiving forward Vance Jackson.
This is a big move for the Maine Celtics. What do you think about this new addition? Will Keon Johnson be a game-changer for the team? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
