JD Davison reacts to making the Boston Celtics full roster
One could do worse than winning the G League 2025 Most Valuable Player award to make your case for a full roster spot with the Boston Celtics. And that is exactly what Celtics two way point guard managed to do for his case to be elevated to the full roster after several seasons shuttling back and forth between Boston and Portland to play for the Maine Celtics at the G League level. While the University of Alabama alum has not had all that much of an impact at the NBA level, it is hard to do more the next level down. And it is safe to say that Boston ought to at least give Davison a shot to show what he has at the NBA level next season.

Boston Celtics reportedly converting two way point guard JD Davison to a full roster spot
The Boston Celtics are reportedly converting two way point guard JD Davison to a full roster spot to fill their final open roster spot, according to new reporting from ESPN's Shams Charania. The Alabama native will answer the question of what the Celtics planned to do with their 15th regular roster spot, which has been open for the entire 2024-25 NBA regular season. The deal will be a standard, two-year contract, per the senior ESPN reporter, presumably covering the remainder of this season and next. Davison has not popped at the NBA level in the limited run that he has had this season, appearing in just 15 games and putting up 1.6 points points per game. But despite having played for Boston for three seasons now in a two way role, the University of Alabama alum is still very young at just 22 years old, and has been tearing it up at the G League level. Advertisement There, he logged an impressive 25.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.5 steals per game on his way to winning this season's G League Most Valuable Player award with the Maine Celtics.

Mandatory Credit: David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports Davison may still be unpolished and unused to the NBA game, but with plenty of room to grow, the vision Boston has for him is evident. He likely won't see the floor in the postseason this year save for blowouts, but Boston will need to continue to develop low-salary options for depth for the foreseeable future, and it's hard to make a better case to invest in a player than the season Davison has had in the G League.

Boston Celtics' JD Davison has earned a shot at the NBA
Boston Celtics' JD Davison has earned a shot at the NBA JD Davison has been with the Boston Celtics for three seasons, all of which have been on two-way contracts. During his time with the team and the Maine Celtics in the G League, Davison has improved his overall game. On April 2, Davison took another step forward in his pursuit of a full-time roster spot in the NBA, being named as the 2025 G-League MVP. Throughout the G League season, Davison has averaged 25.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Unfortunately, the impressive guard has struggled to crack Boston's primary rotation, mainly due to the strength in depth the Celtics have at the guard position. Davison recently shared his reaction to winning the G League MVP award during a news conference. The 53rd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft remained humble. Nevertheless, his production this season will undoubtedly position him to have a chance at making the NBA next season, either with the Celtics or on another NBA roster.
