Oshae Brissett Inks Free Agency Deal With Boston Celtics /

In this story:

Former Syracuse forward Oshae Brissett is on the move in the NBA. After spending the most of his career with the Indiana Pacers through this past season, Brissett has signed a two year free agency deal with the Boston Celtics, according to various reports. Brissett now joins one of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics were in the Eastern Conference Finals last season before falling to the Miami Heat. The year before the Celtics lost in the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors.

Brissett broke into the NBA as an undrafted free agent with the Toronto Raptors. During the 2019-20 season, he spent time with the Raptors and earned some playing time appearing in 19 games. Brissett then went to the Pacers, where he spent three seasons, with his greatest contributions coming in the 2021-22 season.

During that year, Brissett appeared in 67 games, starting 25, and averaged 9.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while shooting over 35% from three point range. Brissett took a step back in his production last season, seeing fewer minutes, starting fewer games and seeing a slight decrease in his efficiency.

Despite that, the former Orange star brings versatility and depth to a Celtics team that has its eyes on a championship next season.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
