According to Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge , P.J. Brown will sign with the Celtics soon.
Quote:
It is uncertain when the forward will begin practice with the team or play in his first game.
The 38-year-old Brown, who has been courted to return to his home state team, the New Orleans Hornets, has been inactive this season. The Celtics have two roster spots to fill before Friday's playoff eligible deadline. The Celtics hope to land veteran guard Sam Cassell if he is bought out by the Clippers. Brown, who has 14 years of experience, would bring needed depth in the frontline. The 6-foot-11 forward is known for his rebounding and tough interior defense. He averages 9.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for his career.
