The Boston Celtics have signed former University of Kentucky big man Amari Williams to a two way contract, per a release circulated by the team on Friday (Aug. 15). The Celtics elected to take Williams with the No.

Multiple sources indicated to MassLive on draft night that Williams would eventually land a two-way deal but the Celtics waived Miles Norris earlier this week to open two-way slots for Williams and undrafted rookie RJ Luis Jr.

With that win, Williams became the oldest player to win a singles match on the WTA Tour since Martina Navratilova won in the first round of Wimbledon in 2004 aged 47. However, her bid for her first winning streak since 2019 ended with a 6-2, 6-2 loss to 24th-ranked Magdalena Frech in the next round at the DC Open.

Venus Williams will make her return to Grand Slam tennis at the U.S. Open in singles at age 45 after a two-year absence.
