The **Celtics** are exercising their 2025/26 team option on the contract of **[JD Davison](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/davisjd01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2025-06-29_bbr)**, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype ([Twitter link](https://x.com/MikeAScotto/status/1939418496074502624)).
Davison’s $2.27MM salary for next season is fully non-guaranteed, so the move doesn’t necessarily mean that Celtics will retain the 22-year-old guard — if they wanted to, they could waive him before the season starts without incurring a cap hit.
Davison was selected 53rd overall in the 2022 draft after one college season at Alabama. He has spent virtually all of the past three campaigns on a two-way deal with Boston, but was converted to a multiyear standard contract just before the 2024/25 regular season ended.
While Davison’s NBA contributions have been very modest to this point, appearing in 36 total regular season games for a total of 198 minutes over the course of his three seasons, he has been a standout performer in the NBA G League, having claimed the MVP award with the Maine Celtics in ’24/25.
