The NBA G League announced that Maine Celtics Two-Way player JD Davison has been named the 2024-25 Kia NBA G League Most Valuable Player. Davison becomes the second player in franchise history to win MVP, joining 2014-15 D-League MVP Tim Frazier, formerly of the Maine Red Claws.
“His hard work and team-first attitude from day one with both the Boston and Maine Celtics have led to this achievement,” said Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens. “JD has embraced the idea of continuously improving, and we are thrilled for him.”
Davison finished the regular season with averages of 25.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. The 22-year-old made 30 Regular Season appearances, leading Maine to a 21-13 record, to send the reigning conference champions back into the postseason for a third straight year. His scoring mark ranked fourth in the league and his assist mark ranked seventh, making him the only G League player to place among the top seven in both categories.
“JD has been nothing short of exceptional this season,” said Maine Celtics Head Coach and Boston Celtics Assistant Coach Tyler Lashbrook. “His work ethic and commitment to his own development are second to none, but his leadership and the guidance he provides to our locker room are what sets him apart. Winning the NBA G League MVP is a testament to all of those qualities. He truly impacts winning in every way, and we’re very proud of him.”
