The Celtics used their rookie team options on the wings Baylor Schaerman and Hugo Gonzalez for the 2027/28 season, trans RealGM Journal of Official NBA Transactions.
Scheierman, the 30th pick in the 2024 draft, was a regular in Boston’s rotation as a second-year player last season, averaging 5.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.6 minutes per game over 77 games with a solid .453/.399/.903 shooting percentage.
Scheierman, who will make about $2.74 million this season, is now guaranteed $4.95 million for ’27/28. He will be eligible for restricted free agency in 2028 unless he signs a rookie-scale extension in the 2027 offseason.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez played rotation minutes for Boston as a rookie after being drafted 28th overall in 2025. The 6’6″ Spaniard played 74 games and posted 3.9 and 3.3 ppg on 14.6 mpg.
Gonzalez’s third-year option for 2027/28 is worth $3.06 million. The Celtics will have until Nov. 1, 2027, to decide whether to exercise the $5.53 million option for the 28/29 season.
