Currently an unrestricted free agent, Budinger played for both the Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns last season. Overall he averaged 4.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in 14.1 minutes per game.

Although a small roster addition if he joins the team, Budinger could be a key bench player to play spot minutes for the Celtics next season.
