He finished that season with averages of 1.5 points per contest.

Schakel has spent part of two seasons in the NBA (all with the Wizards).

Over six regular season games, he averaged 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per contest while shooting 15.4% from the field and 28.6% from the three-point range.

Based on the roster situation for the Celtics, Schakel will more than likely be waived before the 2024-25 NBA season.

That said, he could be a good candidate to sign a two-way (or 10-day) contract with the Celtics.

In addition, Schakel will likely return to the G League and play for the Maine Celtics.
