The Celtics are going to sit one of their draft choices from this season.

The Boston Celtics will take on the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night in the final regular season game in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. The Celtics are currently 2-1.

About the rest of Summer League

Each team plays four regularly scheduled Summer League games as part of the Las Vegas session. At the end of the four games, the top four teams advance to the Summer League semifinals, which are played on July 18. The Finals are July 19.

If teams do not qualify for the Summer League playoffs, they will get a fifth game, which will be played on July 17, 18 or 19.

Celtics make a big move on Wednesday 

The C's are sitting Dillon Mitchell on Wednesday. Mitchell was the team's second-round draft pick out of St. John's earlier this year. He was taken at No. 40 overall and should provide the Celtics with some more athleticism on the wing, the ability to finish at the rim, and some defensive versatility because of his length and athletic ability.

He scored just four points in his first Summer League game, but rebounded for 24 in the second and 11 in the third. He had eight rebounds in his second game and four in the third. He's been particularly active on the offensive glass, securing 10 offensive rebounds in his last two games.

About Mitchell 

A four-year collegiate player who played at three different schools, Mitchell played an integral role in St. Johns's continued turnaround under Rick Pitino, helping the Red Storm earn a No. 5 seed in this past year's NCAA Tournament. They also toppled UConn for the Big East regular season and tournament titles.

Mitchell began his career at Texas, starting 38 games as a true freshman and averaging 4.3 ppg before scoring 9.6 as a sophomore. He transferred to Cincinnati as a junior, scoring 9.9 ppg before landing at St. John's for his senior year. He averaged 8.3 ppg and seven rebounds while also dishing three assists per game.

He's listed at 6-foot-8. He was an All-Big East selection last season.

Elsewhere for the Celtics 

According to Keith Smith of Spotrac, the Celtics made two minor signings on Wednesday morning. They've added Tucker DeVries and Milos Uzan to Exhibit 10 contracts. They are more than likely going to end up in the G-League during the season.

DeVries played at three different schools in five years, just wrapping up his collegiate career in 2025-26. The guard played 104 games for Drake from 2021-24 before playing eight games at West Virginia in 2024-25. He finished up at Indiana this past season, starting 32 games for the Hoosiers. He averaged 13.7 ppg.

Uzan played at Houston for two years following two at Oklahoma. He averaged 9.9 ppg for his career. More on those moves here.
