Humphries and Jared Sullinger were Boston’s most consistent low-post threats last season. Humphries averaged 8.4 points and 5.9 rebounds in 69 games. The Celtics limited his time to only 19.9 minutes per game, looking to give younger players like Kelly Olynyk more playing time.
On Monday, Humphries told WEEI’s Rob Bradford that he “could definitely return” to Boston after becoming a free agent this summer.
