The Boston Celtics have been looking to beef up their squad ahead of what they hope to be an extended playoff run this season. Fortifications have come in the way of former second overall pick Jabari Parker, who has reportedly just agreed to a deal with the Cs.

This report comes via NBA insider Shams Charania of The Athletic:

Jabari Parker was recently waived by the Sacramento Kings after failing to force his way into a spot in head coach Luke Walton's rotation. He has been a free agent for nearly a month now, so he must be delighted to have finally found a new team.

For the Celtics, the addition of Parker should provide some depth into their squad. The 6-foot-8 power forward won't be playing heavy minutes for his new team, but he should be a somewhat reliable option for coach Brad Steven off the bench.

During his best year as a pro, Parker put up averages of 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists for the Milwaukee Bucks. This was during his third season in the NBA during the 2016-17 campaign. Since then, Parker has played for no less than five different NBA teams, with the Celtics being his sixth in four years.

According to Shams, the Celtics also waived Moe Wagner in order to make room for Parker on the roster:

Wagner arrived in Boston right before the trade deadline as part of a three-team deal that involved the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old was deemed excess to requirement and he will now need to navigate the turbulent waters of free agency.
