BOSTON, Mass. - The Boston Celtics have signed forward Miles Norris to a Two-Way Contract, the team announced on Tuesday.

The 6'7, 220 pound forward has recorded four double-doubles this season, and scored a season-high 29 points on November 15, 2024, against the OKC Blue. Norris connected on 6-11 (54.5%) of his shots from deep in that game and 9-17 (52.9%) from the floor. Norris spent his rookie season in the NBA G League with the College Park Skyhawks in 2023-24.
