Saturday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that the Boston Celtics plan to sign Charles Bassey to a 10-day deal. The six-foot-10 center most recently suited up for the Santa Cruz Warriors. As one can likely deduce, that's Golden State's G League affiliate. Before that, the former second-round pick spent time with the Memphis Grizzlies and Philadelphia 76ers this season.
Across three appearances, split between those two NBA clubs, Bassey averaged 3.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in 12 minutes of floor time. The Lagos, Nigeria, native also impressed during his preseason opportunity with the Atlanta Hawks. Most notably, he generated seven points, 17 rebounds, five blocks, and two steals in a stat-sheet stuffing performance against the Miami Heat.
