Miles Norris was a free agent for less than two weeks as he’s already found the next step of his career. The former Celtics forward agreed to a one-year contract with Barcelona, per an official news release, as Norris heads overseas.
Norris, 25, was waived by the Celtics from his two-way contract earlier this month. He was signed by Boston back in March on what was a two-year deal. Norris finished out the 2024-25 season with the C’s, suiting up in three games, averaging 2.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. He also saw action with the Maine Celtics in the G League.
Norris originally went undrafted in 2023 coming out of UC Santa Barbara. He started his college career with Oregon for one season. Norris signed a two-way deal with the Hawks to start his career, though he bounced around since then. His latest NBA stop was with the Celtics as he played for them in Las Vegas for Summer League.
Now, Norris heads overseas where he looks to contribute for a Barcelona squad that features other ex-NBA pros like Willy Hernangómez and Tomas Satoransky. Norris brings size and shooting to the equation, which is likely what Barcelona was looking for on the free agency market.
The Celtics dealt with a roster crunch after making a pair of moves earlier in August. As part of the trade with the Jazz, they sent Georges Niang and two second-round picks in order to get two-way wing RJ Luis Jr. back in the deal. By acquiring Luis, that meant the Celtics were full on all three two-way slots going into next season.
However, the Celtics hadn’t signed rookie big man Amari Williams to a deal yet. So, as part of roster housekeeping, Boston waived Norris. That allowed the Celtics to sign Williams, the 46th overall pick in the 2025 draft. Williams joins guard Max Shulga, the 57th pick, and Luis as the three two-way signees on Boston’s roster.
