Celtics re-sign Cassell Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Boston Celtics signed guard Sam Cassell on
Monday. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Cassell joined the Celtics last season after he was waived by the Los Angeles
Clippers. He played 17 games with the Celtics and averaged 7.6 points and 2.1
assists per game.
In Celtics' successful postseason run, he averaged 4.5 points and 1.2 assists
in 17 games on the way to winning his third NBA title.

Center Patrick O'Bryant is working on his game, getting quality time on the floor during practice while Kendrick Perkins remains out with a shoulder malady, according to the Boston Globe.

Boston's Darius Miles was suspended 10 games for violating the NBA's drug policy, but does not know how he tested positive for phentermin - common in diet pills - and he will not appeal, according to ESPN.com. I could have gone to a team that would have me to appeal it and fight it, but I went to a team that told me to leave it alone, so I'll leave it alone," Miles said.
Our View:Miles will still have to make the team out of training camp, and only then would he serve the suspension.
The AP reports that Sam Cassell re-signed with the Boston Celtics on Monday.
Our View:The 38-year-old Cassell joined the team in March for the playoff run, playing in 17 regular-season games before averaging 4.5 points in the playoffs. He will battle with Eddie House as Rajon Rondo's primary backup this season. He does not figure to hold any fantasy value.
