The Celtics have signed well-traveled swingman Svi Mykhailiuk to a one-year contract, the team announced on Thursday.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania was the first to report the deal. Mykhailiuk, a 6-foot-7 small forward/shooting guard, hails from the Ukraine, but played four seasons at the University of Kansas.
He was drafted 47th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018.
He has played in 252 regular-season NBA games, seeing action with the Lakers, Pistons, Thunder, Knicks and Hornets in his five-year pro career.
Mykhailiuk has averaged 6.6 points as an NBA player. Last season, he split time between the Knicks and Hornets. He was productive in his 19 games with the Hornets, averaging 10.6 points per game and shooting 40.4 percent from 3-point range.
The 26-year-old averaged 14.6 points during his senior season at Kansas.
