Agrees to Exhibit 10 deal with Lakers The Lakers signed Watson to an Exhibit 10 deal Thursday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Watson appeared in nine regular-season games for the Knicks in 2024-25. He then spent the 2025-26 campaign in the G League. In 50 regular-season games with South Bay, Watson averaged 11.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals over 27.2 minutes per contest. The 25-year-old will get another opportunity to suit up for Los Angeles this season, though another stint in the G League may be the most realistic outcome.

Absent from injury report Watson (thigh) was not listed on the Celtics' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Watson had been working through a left adductor strain that had forced him to be sidelined for Boston's last two games. Watson's return won't have any impact on the Celtics' rotation, however, as the rookie second-rounder has yet to appear in an NBA regular-season game.

Impact The rookie second-round pick out of Gonzaga is on a two-way deal with the Celtics and has yet to make his NBA debut, so his absence Friday had no affect on head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation. Once healthy, Watson will presumably link back up with the G League's Maine Celtics.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inks two-way deal The Celtics signed Watson to a two-way contract Friday.
