Luke Kornet has been key for the Boston Celtics as a backup center this season. In 18.4 minutes per game, Kornet is averaging 5.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and .9 blocks while shooting 68 percent from the field. With Kristaps Porziņģis‘ injury history and Al Horford‘s age, Kornet is vital to the Celtics’ bench. However, Kornet is a free agent this summer and given the Celtics’ standing as a second-apron team it will be challenging to retain him.

With seven games left in the season, the Boston Celtics still have one remaining roster spot. Having an open roster spot this late into the season isn’t uncommon and there are some financial benefits to waiting until the end of the season. However, considering how late in the season it is, the Celtics will likely convert one of their two-way players to a standard contract before the regular season ends.
