Shulga agreed to a two-year contract with the Celtics on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The VCU product was selected by Boston with the 57th overall pick in the 2025 Draft and subsequently agreed to a two-way deal with the club. However, he's now been upgraded to a standard contract despite logging just five minutes across three regular-season appearances at the NBA level thus far. The 23-year-old guard may continue spending time with the team's G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, where he has averaged 15.7 points, 6.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game across 36 outings.

Shulga contributed no counting stats across two minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over Milwaukee.
Shulga appeared for just the second time this season, both of which have come during garbage time. The 57th pick in the 2025 draft is buried on the depth chart in Boston, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Snapped up by Boston in Round 2
Rotowire
Shulga was selected by the Celtics with the No. 57 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard capped a five-year collegiate career in impressive fashion in 2024-25, taking home Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year honors while averaging 15.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.8 minutes per contest in 35 games for VCU. Perhaps more notably, Shulga converted at an efficient 38.7 percent from three-point range on 2.1 attempts per contest, and his ability to knock down open looks while serving as a secondary playmaker will likely be the key to him carving out a role at the NBA level. According to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com, Shulga will sign a two-way contract with Boston, so he'll likely see most of his playing time in his first professional season in the G League with the Maine Celtics.
