WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) -Ray Allen is glad to be back with the Boston Celtics.
Allen said on Tuesday that he didn’t really want to uproot his family and make them adjust to a new city. His first choice was to stay in Boston, and things worked out for a two-year deal worth about $20 million.
Allen had his physical at the Celtics’ workout facility on Tuesday and finalized his contract. With his signing, the Celtics have the core of the team that won the 2008 NBA title back for another run.
The Celtics lost this year in the finals to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Allen turns 35 next week. He is 28th on the NBA’s career scoring list, and he is fifth among active players.
