The Blazers will send the Celtics a top-55 protected 2027 second round pick, according to Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer.
The 6’8 guard signed a two year, $4.2 million deal with the Celtic last summer, suiting up in 24 games for the Massachusetts franchise, averaging 2.3 point, 1.5 boards and 0.8 assists. The contract includes a $2 million team option for the 2024-25 season.
The 24-year-old Canadian was taken with the 46th pick by his hometown Toronto Raptors in 2021. He enjoyed a career high 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in November 2022, helping the Raptors to a win over the Detroit Pistons.
Banton holds career averages of 3.4 points on 25.4 percent from three, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
Before being drafted he played a season at Western Kentucky and another at Nebraska and was touted as a ball handler and a strong defender.
The move takes Portland’s regular season roster to 14.
