BOSTON (AP) — Free agent point guard Dennis Schröder said Tuesday he is signing a one-year deal with the Celtics, ending his up-and-down one-year stint with the Lakers. “I’m proud to announce that for the 2021-22 season I’ll be playing with the Boston Celtics!” Schröder posted on Instagram. Schröder reportedly turned down a four-year, $84 million extension offer from the Lakers during the season. The deal gave the Celtics salary cap room and the return of big man Al Horford. Celtics president Brad Stevens is trying to improve the roster for new coach Ime Udoka, whom Stevens hired in June as his successor.
