Celtics' Max Shulga: Plays in garbage time Wednesday
Rotowire
Shulga recorded no statistics while playing the final eight seconds of Wednesday's 147-129 win over the Heat.
Shulga arrived in Miami in time for Wednesday's game, after he had suited up for the G League's Maine Celtics a night earlier in the affiliate's playoff loss to the Greensboro Swarm. With Maine having been eliminated from the postseason, Shulga will remain with Boston moving forward but is unlikely to see minutes outside of garbage-time scenarios or games in which the team is resting multiple rotation players.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Lands standard contract
Rotowire
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 NBA 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.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Rare appearance in win
Rotowire
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.
