Official waiver in Boston
The Boston Celtics have waived forward Hank Morgan with immediate effect, leaving him without an NBA team on the same day they added him to their preseason roster. The move, effective on September 11, confirms his exit from the franchise and opens the door to a G League destination.
The transaction is listed on NBA.com oficial and was detailed by Hoops Rumors, which places the waiver on the same day Morgan signed a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract with Boston.
Morgan's profile
Morgan, a 6'5" wing, went undrafted in 2025 after five years at Division III Hamilton College. He split his first professional season between the Salt Lake City Stars and Maine Celtics in the G League: 1.9 points and 1.3 rebounds in 15 games with Utah and 8.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 17 outings with Boston's affiliate, shooting 42.4% from three.
He played NBA Summer League with the Celtics last month and was the only active Division III product in the G League during the 2025-26 season. His profile blends perimeter shooting and defensive energy in a rotation wing role.
What the waiver means
Once off the main roster, Morgan becomes a free agent until his next step is finalized. The most likely path within Boston's project leads to the Maine Celtics, the franchise's G League affiliate, where he already spent time last season.
If he lands with the affiliate and spends at least 60 days in the G League, he could earn an Exhibit 10 bonus worth up to $91,000, a common incentive for players who accept that preseason pathway.
Roster context
The move fits the pattern Boston has repeated with development players: sign on an Exhibit 10, clear a training camp roster spot and secure a pathway to Maine. For Morgan, the waiver does not shut the door on the franchise ecosystem; it places him on the route typically used for Exhibit 10 players ahead of the regular season.
