Stephon Marbury Clears Waivers, Signs with Boston Celtics, Expected to Play Friday Night

The latest chapter in the basketball life of Stephon Marbury has begun as the well-traveled guard has shed his New York Knicks jersey for a Boston Celtics uniform and is expected to suit up for Friday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers.

Marbury cleared waivers earlier in the afternoon and was quickly signed by the Celtics who have been looking for a veteran guard to backup Rajon Rondo and provide some leadership off the bench.

The 32-year-old Marbury finally came to an agreement with the Knicks concerning a buyout of his $20.8 million contract and now he will be playing for the Celtics who will pay him a pro-rated share of the veteran’s $1.3 million.

It has been more than a year since Marbury last played in an NBA game.

Marbury was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the fourth pick of the 1996 NBA Draft but was dealt to the Minnesota Timberwolves. From Minnesota he was sent to the New Jersey Nets before being dealt to the Phoenix Suns. From Phoenix he went to the New York Knicks and on Friday he joined his sixth team, the Boston Celtics.
