Headline: Celtics Re-Sign RJ Luis to Exhibit 10 Deal, Set for Maine Celtics Stint

Boston, MA – The Boston Celtics are bringing back RJ Luis, just days after waiving him from a two-way contract, according to reports from Noa Dalzell of CLNS and CelticsBlog.com. This time, Luis is signing an Exhibit 10 deal, a move that will likely see him join the Maine Celtics, Boston’s G League affiliate, at the start of the 2025-2026 season.

The Exhibit 10 contract provides Luis with the opportunity to earn a bonus of up to $85,300 if he spends at least 60 days with the Maine Celtics.

Luis, a 6’7″ wing, is coming off a stellar junior season at St. John’s, where he earned Big East Player of the Year honors. He averaged 18.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 steals across 35 games, showcasing his all-around game. His shooting percentages were solid, hitting 43.9% from the field, 33.6% from three-point range, and 74.7% from the free-throw line.

Despite being projected as a potential draft pick – ranked 56th by ESPN and 58th by The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie – Luis went undrafted in June. He initially signed a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz after the draft but was traded to Boston in August. The Celtics acquired him by sending two second-round picks to Utah to absorb Georges Niang’s salary.

The Celtics waived Luis earlier this week to make room for Ron Harper Jr., who was promoted to a two-way contract. This latest move indicates the Celtics’ continued interest in developing Luis within their system. As he turns 23 next month, the young wing will look to make the most of his opportunity with the Maine Celtics.
