Celtics Re-Sign Chris Wilcox, Gives Team Depth in the Paint

The Celtics have re-signed 6-foot-10 forward and center Chris Wilcox. As per team policy, the terms and conditions of the deal were not disclosed.

"In bringing Chris back to the team, we are gaining a very versatile guy who is capable of banging down low in the paint and is able to run out on the break as well," said Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge.

Wilcox was the eighth overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers and also played for the Sonics, Knicks and Pistons prior to joining the Celtics in 2011. In four starts last season before being shut down with a heart problem, Wilcox averaged 11 points and 6.3 rebounds per game while on the court for just under 25 minutes per game.
