John Tonje: Breaking News

Goes for career-high 13 points

Tonje closed with 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 win over the Magic. Tonje suited up for just the sixth time this season, playing a career-high 30 minutes, more than his combined playing time thus far during his career. He landed a couple of clutch three-pointers, helping sink the Magic in what can only be described as an improbable victory. Entering the playoffs, it is unlikely we will see Tonje again, outside of blowouts.

Staying in Boston on two-way deal

The Celtics signed Tonje to a two-way contract Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Tonje's 10-day contract with the Celtics expired Sunday, but the rookie second-rounder will stick around in Boston after inking a two-way deal on the same day. The Wisconsin product was acquired by the Celtics from the Jazz in early February in exchange for Chris Boucher. Tonje has played mostly in the G League with the Maine Celtics but has appeared in two regular-season games for Boston, most recently in Friday's 148-111 win over Brooklyn, when he logged two points, two rebounds and an assist over five minutes. Tonje is unlikely to see the floor except in garbage time or during the final games of the regular season if the Celtics have locked in their seeding for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Contract expires

Tonje became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the Celtics expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Acquired from the Jazz ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, Tonje had been signed to a two-way deal but was converted to a 10-day contract Feb. 19. After a stint in the G League to begin his time in the organization, the second-round rookie out of Wisconsin got the chance to see his first NBA action this past week, when he appeared in two games and logged two points, two rebounds and one assist in nine total minutes. While it's unclear if the Celtics intend to retain Tonje, the team currently has three openings on the 15-man roster as well as a vacant two-way slot.
