The Celtics are signing former Utah State forward Taylor Funk to an Exhibit 10 deal, a source tells Bobby Manning of CLNS Media.
Funk played his first five collegiate seasons with St. Joseph’s before transferring to Utah State as a grad transfer. In 34 games with Utah State, Funk averaged 13.4 points and shot 37.0% from deep on 6.4 attempts per night. After going undrafted in the 2023 draft, Funk joined the Heat for the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer League, but played sparingly across both events.
Boston is now up to 18 players under contract, three under the offseason limit. That total includes 11 players on guaranteed contracts and three on partially or non-guaranteed deals (Svi Mykhailiuk, Dalano Banton and Luke Kornet). The Celtics also have JD Davison and Jay Scrubb signed to two-way deals and DJ Steward on an Exhibit 10.
Funk will likely end up with the Maine Celtics, where he could earn bonuses worth up to $75K if he spends at least 60 days with Boston’s G League affiliate.
