Boston is making an early free-agency move regarding guard Ron Harper Jr., according to multiple reports from Yahoo Sports. The outlets state that the Celtics are expected to re-sign Harper Jr. to a three-year contract worth $9 million. One report characterizes the move as a long-term extension and notes that it represents Harper Jr.’s first guaranteed NBA contract. The reports also describe Harper Jr.’s 2023–24 progression with Boston, starting the season on a two-way contract before later receiving a standard deal. Together, the accounts indicate the Celtics’ intent to convert Harper Jr. from a developmental role into a multi-year agreement with guaranteed status. While the language varies across reports—some describe an “extension,” others a “re-signing” to a three-year number—each source points to the same core terms: a $9 million total value over three years and a shift to guaranteed security for Harper Jr. The reporting does not provide further contract details such as specific guarantees beyond the characterization of the deal as his first guaranteed NBA contract.
