According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Boston Celtics converted two-way guard John Tonje to a 10-day contract on Thursday morning. Tonje recently joined the team as part of the deal that sent Chris Boucher to the Utah Jazz ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline.
Utah drafted Tonje in the second round last year, after an impressive first-team All-Big 10 season with Wisconsin. Since joining the Celtics, he has yet to see any NBA opportunity. His only run has come up in Maine with Boston’s G-League affiliate, the Maine Celtics. Through his first two appearances with them, Tonje has averaged 25 points and 5.
