The possible plans of the Celtics with the signing of Lonnie Walker IV

Boston Celtics agreed to sign Lonnie Walker IV less than a week ago with a 10-day contract to participate in the upcoming NBA training camp prior to the start of the 2024/25 season, where the Massachusetts franchise will defend the championship title won last June.

However, despite the player's talent, there is a possibility that the Celtics may decide to release him before the opening game of the 2023/24 season. This was indicated by insider Shams Charania from NBA Rumors at The Athletic.

"There is a chance that Walker could be waived before the start of the regular season so that the Celtics can keep their 15th spot open on the roster," Charania mentioned regarding the vacancy that Boston could leave unfilled to maneuver throughout the season.
