New York Knicks (0-1) vs Boston Celtics (1-0) Summer League Game #2 7/13/25

The Boston Celtics (1-0) face the New York Knicks (0-1) in a Summer League game on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 5:30 PM ET at Cox Pavilion. This is the second Summer League game for both teams. The Celtics won their first game against the Memphis Grizzlies 92-78 on Friday, while the Knicks lost their first game to the Detroit Pistons 104-86, also on Friday.

The Celtics' Summer League roster includes 15 players: undrafted players, their three 2025 draft picks (Hugo Gonzalez - 28th pick, Amari Williams - 46th pick, Max Shulga - 57th pick), two-way players, and two players from last season's roster. Key returnees include third-year player Jordan Walsh and second-year player Baylor Scheierman. Miles Norris also returns after spending half of last season as a two-way player. Gonzalez is expected to be on the regular season roster, while Williams and Shulga are expected to sign two-way contracts.

Charles Bassey emerged as a surprise standout in the Celtics' first game. The 2021 53rd pick, previously with Philadelphia and San Antonio, has overcome significant knee injuries (missed time in 2022 and tore his ACL in December 2023). Given the Celtics' frontcourt depth concerns, Bassey has an opportunity to earn a contract with the team.

The Knicks' Summer League roster features Marjon Beauchamp, who has three years of NBA experience. Their 2024 first-round pick, Pacome Dadiet (25th pick), and second-round pick Ariel Hukporti (58th pick), a 7-foot center with potential to earn a backup role, are also highlighted. Anton Watson, originally drafted 54th by the Celtics in 2024 and signed to a two-way contract, was waived to sign Miles Norris and subsequently signed with the Knicks for Summer League.

Matt Reynolds serves as the Celtics' Summer League head coach. Reynolds joined the Celtics as Video Coordinator in 2015 and has been an assistant coach since 2022. The Knicks' Summer League head coach is Jordan Brink, their Director of Player Personnel, known for holding the league's highest percentage rate of successful challenge calls.

Possible starters for the Celtics are speculated to be the same as their first game: Max Shulga, Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez, Jordan Walsh, and Amari Williams. For the Knicks, possible starters are Tyler Kolek, Kevin McCullar Jr., Marjon Beauchamp, Pacome Dadiet, and Ariel Hukporti, mirroring their opening game lineup. However, Summer League lineups can be unpredictable.
