NBA champion Svi Mykhailiuk has officially signed a four-year, $15 million contract with the Utah Jazz, leaving the Boston Celtics after a successful season. Mykhailiuk played a significant role in the Celtics’ playoff run, helping them win the NBA Finals last season. Despite starting only two games and averaging four points in the regular season, the 27-year-old guard made a noticeable impact in the postseason.
Known for his three-point shooting ability, Mykhailiuk’s career 36.3 percent shooting from beyond the arc caught the attention of the Jazz, who see potential in him. With the Celtics aiming to retain their championship roster, Mykhailiuk’s departure marks a change in their plans.
President of basketball operations Brad Stevens shared that the Celtics still have one roster spot remaining and will evaluate their needs before the upcoming season. Mykhailiuk’s move to the Jazz opens up opportunities for both him and the Celtics to explore new options and strategies as they navigate the upcoming NBA season.
With Mykhailiuk signing with the Utah Jazz, the NBA landscape continues to shift as teams gear up for another exciting season of basketball. Fans will be eagerly anticipating the performance of Mykhailiuk in his new team, while the Celtics will be looking to fill the gap left by his departure as they prepare to defend their title.
