Including the partially guaranteed deal of Dwight Powell, the Boston Celtics currently have 16 guaranteed contracts. The Celtics will have to release a player and eat a contract since teams can only carry 15 players.

Vitor Faverani may be the player who is waived as he has yet to practice during training camp due to soreness in his surgically repaired left knee.

Faverani is owed $2.09 million this season, but he has yet to recover seven months later from a car accident that led to his arrest.

Powell, meanwhile, has impressed his teammates with his versatility and work ethic, and it may be difficult for the Celtics to pass on a player with such potential.
