Tonje is getting a long look with the Celtics\u2019 summer league entry in Las Vegas and has proven to be one of the better players on the floor. Boston has only one of its three two-way contracts committed, with big man Amari Williams agreeing to a deal last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The club is expected to commit another two-way deal to second-round pick Dillon Mitchell, who struggled, like most of his teammates, in Monday\u2019s 102-90 loss to the Hawks at Cox Pavilion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mitchell did, however, show his shooting range and scoring ability in Sunday\u2019s win over the Hornets and is proving to be a keeper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonje, acquired from the Jazz in the Chris Boucher deal, stuck with the Celtics for the final three months of the season but his two-way contract expired.<\/span><\/p>\n
