July 25, the Boston Celtics announced today through their official social media that they have officially waived guard Jadarian Devonte Davidson . The 22-year-old backcourt star will enter the free market, and his career will also usher in a new turning point.

Since entering the NBA with the 53rd pick in 2022 , Jadarian Devonte Davidson has played for the Celtics as a two - way contract for most of the time . Before the end of the 2024-25 regular season, his status was converted to a formal standard contract by the team. However, despite being converted, Davidson has never been able to get stable playing time in the NBA . In the past three seasons, he played 36 regular season games for the Celtics, with a total playing time of only 198 minutes.

Davidson's performance in the Development League is extremely outstanding. In the 2024-25 season, he played a total of 45 games for the Maine Celtics (the Celtics' G League team), averaging 34.6 minutes per game , scoring 25.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.7 blocks , with comprehensive statistics. More importantly, he was also awarded the NBA Development League MVP for his outstanding performance and was successfully selected into the G League All-Star Team , making him a well-deserved league star.

At the NBA level, Davidson played 16 regular season games for the Celtics in the just-concluded 2024-25 season, averaging only 5.8 minutes per game , contributing 2.1 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists, shooting 35.3% and 3-point shooting 22.2% . In addition, he also appeared in 4 playoffs , averaging only 1 point per game, and his performance opportunities are still limited.

For Davidson, this cut is not the end of his career, but more likely a new beginning. Next, whether he continues to work in the Development League, waits for a new call, or strives to get an NBA training camp contract to compete for a rotation spot again, his next choice will become the focus of attention.
