Roster %
Eligibility
The Boston Celtics have officially re-signed Luke Kornet to a two-year deal worth $4,546,582 according to Spotrac’s Keith Smith.
Fantasy Impact
The contract is totally guaranteed with his 2022-23 base salary set to be $2,133,276. Luke Kornet has averaged 5.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in 14.3 points over his five-year NBA career. He made 12 appearances for Boston last year, averaging 2.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 7.1 minutes after being promoted from the Maine Celtics.
The Celtics are planning to sign Kornet to a deal for the rest of the season to help fill one of their five open roster spots following Thursday's trade activity.
Fantasy Impact
The Celtics will be the third team for Kornet this season after short stints in Cleveland and Milwaukee. The lanky Vanderbilt product has averaged 5.7 points and 2.6 rebounds per game over 136 career games. He will help provide depth at the end of the bench for the Celtics with minimal fantasy appeal.
Luke Kornet signed a 10-day hardship contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
It's unlikely Kornet will see many minutes with the team, even with multiple players in the protocols. He's just a depth piece for the team due to their current situation and isn't a viable fantasy option.
Luke Kornet scored 12 points on 6-for-10 shooting with six rebounds, three assists, one steal and four blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's win over the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
With fellow bigs, Tristan Thompson and Robert Williams out, Kornet picked up some extra minutes. Both Williams and Thompson will be out again on Sunday which makes Kornet a good play in DFS.
Luke Kornet scored two points on 1-for-2 shooting with two rebounds over 10 minutes as the Celtics lost to the Bulls on Monday by a 102-96 score.
Fantasy Impact
Since being acquired from the Bulls in March, Kornet is averaging 4.2 points and 3.0 rebounds over nine games played with four DNPs. Unless the 25-year-old center can find a consistent role, he can be left on the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues.
