The Boston Celtics have signed guard JD Davison to a two-way contract for the 2023-24 season, the NBA team announced on Sunday.

The Celtics selected Davison from Alabama with the 53rd choice in the 2022 NBA Draft, and he played his rookie season on a two-way contract, too.

A two-way contract allows a player to move between a team’s NBA roster and its NBA G League affiliate without the waiver process.

Two-way players are limited to 50 games with the NBA team. A two-way contract is worth $559,782, which is half of the NBA rookie minimum for the 2023-24 season.

Davison played in 12 games with the Celtics last season. In 66 minutes on the court with Boston, he had 19 points, nine rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and two blocks.

The 6-foot-3 guard played in 44 games with the G League’s Maine Celtics and averaged 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 7.7 assists. His 339 assists were the fourth-most in the G League in the 2022-23 season and were the second-most in one season in franchise history.

Davison earned Alabama’s Mr. Basketball Award in 2020 and 2021 while leading the Calhoun School in Letohatchee to the AHSAA Class 2A championship in each season.

Davison averaged 33.4 points, 12.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists as a junior and 32.4 points, 10.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists as a senior at Calhoun.

Davison averaged 8.5 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game in his only season at Alabama.

In the Celtics’ opener in the NBA 2K24 Summer League in Las Vegas on Saturday, Davison had 14 points and 11 assists in Boston’s 99-88 loss to the Miami Heat.
