Tucker DeVries, the 6‑foot‑7 forward who concluded his college career at Indiana University, has officially signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Boston Celtics. The agreement, which is a one‑year, non‑guaranteed deal at the league minimum salary, gives the player a chance to earn a place on the Celtics' opening night roster or earn a spot with the team's G League affiliate.
A brief look back at DeVries' college impact
During his single season with the Hoosiers, DeVries posted averages of 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He shot 39.7 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from three‑point range and an impressive 85.9 percent from the free‑throw line. His shooting consistency helped him score at least 15 points in 14 games, while he also recorded five or more rebounds in 18 contests and dished out five or more assists on ten occasions.
Beyond the numbers, DeVries brought a steady presence to the lineup, registering a team‑high three double‑digit performances and hitting multiple three‑pointers in 23 games. His ability to create his own shot and contribute across the stat sheet made him a standout prospect despite not being selected in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The forward's journey to the Celtics also carries a personal narrative. DeVries followed his father, former West Virginia player Darian DeVries, from the Mountain State to Indiana, continuing a family basketball legacy. Earlier this month, he took part in the G League Combine, where he caught the attention of several scouts with his versatile skill set.
His signing marks the second Exhibit 10 contract for a member of the 2025‑26 Indiana roster, underscoring the program's pipeline to professional basketball. While the Celtics have not yet announced a definitive role for DeVries, the move reflects the team's intent to bolster depth and add a player who can contribute immediately in the G League or potentially earn minutes at the NBA level.
