The Boston Celtics are expected to waive guard Lonnie Walker IV, ESPN reported Saturday.

Walker, 25, agreed to a one-year deal with the Celtics in August and averaged 7.3 points with 2.5 assists in 16.4 minutes per game over four preseason contests for the Celtics.

The move comes in advance of Boston’s season opener at home Tuesday, as the defending NBA champions begin their 2024-25 schedule against the New York Knicks.

Per terms of Walker’s deal, now that he is waived, if agrees to play for the team’s G League affiliate in Maine, he would be eligible for a bonus worth up to $77,500.

In 58 games last season with the Brooklyn Nets, Walker averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.4 minutes per game.

Selected in the first round (No. 18 overall) in the 2018 draft by the San Antonio Spurs, the six-year veteran has averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 322 games (88 starts) with the Spurs (2018-22), Los Angeles Lakers (2022-23) and Nets.
