The Boston Celtics are adding a former first-round pick and Brooklyn Nets starter to their G League affiliate. Keon Johnson has been claimed by the Maine Celtics, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto.

The Los Angeles Clippers selected Johnson with the No. 21 pick in the 2021 draft out of Tennessee. However, the Clippers traded Johnson to the Portland Trail Blazers midway through his rookie season. He spent two seasons with Portland before joining the Nets on a two-way contract ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

After an impressive season with Brooklyn's G League affiliate, Johnson signed a two-year, standard contract with the Nets before the 2024-25 campaign.
