Though not a defensive anchor anymore, his shooting and spacing can elevate Boston’s offense — even if he plays just 30 minutes a night. The Celtics’ front office sees him as a valuable short-term asset, focused on getting him healthy for the playoffs. He’s not here to redefine the team — but he might just be the spark they need to win.
