BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Celtics have waived forward Mike Sweetney.
The release on Thursday of Sweetney, the ninth pick of the 2004 NBA draft out of Georgetown, was expected with the Celtics having a deep roster. Sweetney was out of the NBA last season after spending his first two seasons with the New York Knicks and the next two with the Chicago Bulls.
The 6-foot-8 Sweetney, 26, signed with Boston as a free agent on Sept. 28 and averaged 3.6 points, 1.2 rebounds and 6.4 minutes in five exhibition games.
