Former Indiana University standout Tucker DeVries has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Boston Celtics, a move that could see the forward suiting up for the team's Summer League squad and training camp.
The one‑year, minimum‑salary agreement gives the Celtics the flexibility to convert the deal into either a two‑way contract or a standard minimum pact, providing a low‑risk avenue to evaluate the player at the professional level.
During his lone season with the Hoosiers, DeVries started all 32 games, logging 34.2 minutes per contest while posting 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. He shot 39.7% from the field, 33.3% beyond the arc and 85.9% from the free‑throw line, numbers that hint at a well‑rounded offensive skill set.
Celtics' Recent Campaign
Boston capped the previous season with a 56‑26 record, securing the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, only to see their run halted in the first round by the Philadelphia 76ers. The team also added Chris Cenac Jr. and Dillon Mitchell in the 2026 NBA Draft, bolstering a roster that already includes a deep bench of talent.
The franchise's G‑League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, will host DeVries in Portland, Maine, playing their home games at the Portland Exposition Building. The Maine club finished the 2025‑26 campaign with an 18‑18 record, offering a competitive environment for emerging players.
Indiana, meanwhile, finished the 2025‑26 season at 18‑14 overall and 9‑11 in Big Ten play, marking the third straight year the Hoosiers failed to reach the NCAA Tournament. Their year ended with a 74‑61 loss to Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament.
DeVries' signing underscores the Celtics' strategy of blending draft capital with proven college talent, a pathway that could reshape his professional trajectory while adding depth to a championship‑contending squad.
