The Celtics waived Jake Layman on Saturday.
Boston brought in Layman on a training camp deal, so he was never guaranteed a spot. Even if he did make the final roster, he wouldn't have seen any playing time on one of the deepest teams in the league.
Jake Layman has been invited to Celtics camp and will have a chance to make the final roster, according to CLNS Media.
Layman started his career in Portland and spent the last three seasons with Minnesota so it would not be all that surprising to see him make Boston's final roster with a limited role off the bench. But it would take a minor miracle for him to emerge with any fantasy value this season.
Jake Layman made his first start of the season and managed 13 points, seven rebounds, two steals and a block across 36 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Jazz.
Layman's start was his first since April 7, so he's been off the fantasy radar for quite some time now. His previous season-highs were eight minutes, three points, three rebounds and one steal, so tonight's useful final line should be taken with a grain of salt. With so many Timberwolves either injured or in protocols, there's a chance Layman sees some increased run in the short-term, but even then, he's not someone who needs to be added off the waiver wire.
Jake Layman shifted to the Wolves' bench on Friday, finishing with two points, four rebounds, one steal and one block in 13 minutes.
Layman had been starting but that experiment ended tonight with Jaden McDaniels taking his spot. He was nowhere near fantasy value even as a starter, so this should only impact a handful of deep-league rosters.
