The Celtics officially signed Jeff Green, more than a month after coming to terms on a contract.

“We are thrilled to be able to have Jeff back with the Celtics,” said Danny Ainge. “Jeff’s versatility on offense and ability to guard players out on the perimeter is something that we are looking forward to having on the court this season.”

Green, a 6’9” forward, missed all of the 2011-12 season due to an aortic aneurysm that was discovered during his physical prior to the start of the season. 

“I cannot wait to get back out onto the court and help this team towards our goal of winning another championship for Boston,” said Green.
