What will Boston Celtics two way forward Drew Peterson's future with the team look like?
What will Boston Celtics two way forward Drew Peterson's future with the team and in the league look like? The 25-year-old swingman has shown some flashes in the limited run he has been able to nail down with the parent club, spending most of his floor time up in Portland with the Maine Celtics over the course of his last few seasons. The Libertyville, Illinois native has put up 2.2 points and 1.6 rebounds per game with Boston while shooting 39.4% from beyond the arc in the 25 games he played at the NBA level in 2024-25, but logged 20.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.5 steals per game in the G League, hinting he may be able to help Boston more if he gets some run. Peterson recently sat down with CLNS Media's Noa Dalzell and Bobby Manning on a recent episode of their "Garden Report" podcast in which they touched on the USC alum's future, being part of the 2024 title team, and how much he loves Boston.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 13 - Drew Peterson (2024-25)
Boston Celtics jersey history No. 13 - Drew Peterson (2024-25) The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the 25th of 25 people to wear the No. 13 jersey, Boston forward alum Drew Peterson. After ending his college career at USC, Libertyville, Illinois native would go unselected in the 2023 NBA draft, instead playing in the G League until he signed with the Celtics in 2024. He remains with the team at the time of writing. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Peterson wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.

Lawmakers say GOP divide led to cooperation among Democrats and some Republicans on key issues
A panel of South Dakota legislators participates in the Chiesman Center for Democracy annual conference at the University of South Dakota on March 27, 2025. From left are Rep. Chris Kassin, R-Vermillion; Rep. Erik Muckey, D-Sioux Falls; Sen. Sydney Davis, R-Burbank; Rep. Erin Healy, D-Sioux Falls; Rep. Drew Peterson, R-Salem; and Sen. Jamie Smith, D-Sioux Falls, (Makenzie Huber/South Dakota Searchlight) VERMILLION — Six South Dakota lawmakers — three Democrats and three Republicans — celebrated bipartisan accomplishments Thursday at an annual democracy conference, including their efforts to stop what one legislator called an influx of 'bad bills' from reaching the governor's desk. Fourteen incumbent Republican lawmakers lost in the 2024 primaries, with many challengers capitalizing on opposition to Summit Carbon Solutions' proposed multibillion-dollar pipeline project. That produced a large class of freshman Republican legislators, and last year's Republican leadership group lost support, resulting in a new leadership team when the Legislature convened in January. Sen. Jamie Smith, D-Sioux Falls, said those changes produced bills that pitted Republicans against each other, leading Democrats and some Republicans to work together against legislation they both opposed. Republicans outnumber Democrats in the Legislature 96-9. 'Unfortunately this year, a lot of times it was killing bad bills that we were the most successful,' Smith said. Rep. Drew Peterson, R-Salem, said he ran for a caucus leadership position ahead of the session but 'lost by a few.' He said some Republicans who failed to gain a leadership post worked with Democrats on some issues. 'I wasn't in leadership this year, but we still lead within our group,' Peterson said. 'Collectively we could get 36 to 42 votes between the Democrats and Republicans, and we did our job.' Peterson and Smith were among the lawmakers who participated in a legislative panel discussion at the annual conference hosted by the Chiesman Center for Democracy at the University of South Dakota. As evidence of bipartisan efforts between Democrats and some Republicans, the lawmakers highlighted the amending of legislation dubbed the 'locking up librarians' bill, by removing a proposed criminal penalty for distributing harmful or obscene material to minors and instead requiring an appeals process for challenging materials in school and public libraries. The amendment passed the Senate 18-16 before the bill passed the chamber 32-2. The House accepted the amendments in a 36-34 vote, and Gov. Larry Rhoden signed the bill this month. Attempt to revive 'locking up librarians' bill fails; version with appeal process goes to governor There was also bipartisan cooperation against a failed attempt to stop funding the state's controversial Future Fund, which is an economic development fund controlled by the executive branch, and several failed bills intended to provide property tax relief to South Dakotans. Sioux Falls Democratic Rep. Erik Muckey said he most clearly saw the shift within the Republican Party in the Future Fund debate, where he said some Republicans reacted to a lack of oversight for the fund by supporting its elimination without 'actually digging into' how it works. 'We're trying to take down an agency, effectively,' Muckey said, 'but we don't actually know what the agency does, the process to get there or what the consequences of a bill is that we didn't even all probably read, frankly.' Rep. Chris Kassin, R-Vermillion, said the push for property tax relief included a determination by some freshmen lawmakers to pass property tax cuts without considering costs. That's primarily because some lawmakers, he said, were quick to 'slam something through' and slow to research and understand a bill's consequences. The Legislature ultimately passed Rhoden's legislation including a temporary cap on countywide assessment increases, with plans to dig into the property tax system further with a summer task force. Other notable efforts that some Republicans and Democrats worked together on failed, such as funding the replacement of the state penitentiary. The Legislature lost leadership with deep institutional knowledge because of the primary defeats, said Sen. Sydney Davis, R-Burbank, leading to less understanding among lawmakers of the process and why bills failed in past sessions. Davis said some bills saw several layers of amendments, which hinders how lawmakers and the public vet bills in the committee process. 'That's a drain on the process and the system,' she said. One of the new legislative leaders, House Majority Leader Scott Odenbach, R-Spearfish, told South Dakota Searchlight by phone that he saw factions of Republicans working with Democrats during the session. He described the comments made during the panel as part of an attempt to frame the session as 'fraught and chaotic.' The bills highlighted by lawmakers during the panel weren't bad, he said, but were emblematic of the divide within the Republican Party. The Future Fund and property tax discussions, he said, showed the divide is centered on government involvement in economic development and government spending. 'What some people call bad, others call conservative,' Odenbach said. Odenbach said the next session will be different as freshman lawmakers have a year under their belts and a better understanding of the legislative process. The divide, he said, will remain. 'The South Dakota Republican Party is changing,' Odenbach said. 'It's going back to its roots and we're going to redefine what it means to be a conservative. It'll take a few twists and turns until we get there.'
