With training camp about to begin and the Celtics looking to add a 20th player to their camp roster, they reportedly had come to terms last week with 6-foot-8 forward Yante Maten. Now, Keith Smith of RealGM reports that the C's never executed that signing and instead have signed guard Bryce Brown.

Boston was reportedly signing forward Yante Maten for the 20th spot, but never executed the signing.

The Celtics could still sign Maten, as end of roster maneuvering is common this time of year. Teams angle to get NBAGL rights for players as Affiliate Players. https://twitter.com/KeithSmithNBA/status/1176670133693177856 …

Per league sources, the Boston Celtics have signed guard Bryce Brown. Brown went undrafted out of Auburn at the 2019 NBA Draft before playing Summer League with the Sacramento Kings.

Brown is the 20th player on Boston's roster.

Both players were All-SEC selections. Brown, a 6-3 guard, led Auburn to the Final Four last season, and Maten was signed by the Miami Heat out of Georgia in 2018. Brown went undrafted this past June and played for the Sacramento Kings' Summer League team.

Maten played two games for the Heat last season and spent the rest of the season with their G-League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. He could still find his way to the Celtics' G-League team, the Maine Red Claws, where Brown is likely headed after camp.

MY NOTE: So no PF in camp to compete with Tacko after all, assuming this report of Brown's signing is more reliable than the report of Maten's signing.

Just looking to pick up a body for the Red Claws on Affiliate Player rights. They can have 4 Affiliate Player deals and send them to the G league. They can still sign Maten later. Or some other PF to get tossed around in camp, hopefully not another undersized one.
