3 Celtics who won’t be back next season after NBA Finals loss

1. Luke Kornet will probably be looking for a new home

You can guess at Luke Kornet’s importance to the 2021-22 Boston Celtics based on the fact that we don’t even have a picture of him where you can clearly see his face. The veteran frontcourt player appeared in 12 games and played 85 minutes for the Celtics during the regular season, nine games and 19 total minutes in the playoffs.

Kornet also finished last season with the Celtics and found his way back after stints with the Cavaliers and Bucks earlier in the season. While he has some skill — a 7-foot-2 big who has hit 32.4 percent of his career 3s — he’s also played for five different teams in his five seasons in the NBA.

Kornet’s contract expired and he’s an unrestricted free agent this offseason. You never know, he might find his way back for a third stint in Boston but chances are the Celtics won’t have him high on their free-agent priority list.
