After the Trail Blazers traded star Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks in the midst of social media, the Celtics made another trade to prepare for the start of training camp. According to Spotrac and former CelticsBlogger Keith Smith, Boston signed Jordan Schakel to a non-guaranteed training camp contract.

The Celtics continue to add forwards to their training camp roster. Schakel, who went undrafted out of San Diego State University in 2021, is 6.6 years old and split time between the G League and the Washington Wizards last year. The 25-year-old is competing with Lamar Stevens and Svi Mykhailiuk, among others, for a spot on the roster.

Last season, Schakel spent time with the Warriors’ G League, the Santa Cruz Warriors and the Wizards’ Capital City Go Go affiliate. He played in only two games with the Wizards. Schakel played 27 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors and six games for the Go Go. The forward averaged 10.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

The forward was effective in the G-League, shooting 40.7% from three and 45.5% from the floor in 27 games with the Santa Cruz Warriors. In college, Schakel spent all four years at SDSU, averaging an 8.5 grade point average. In his senior season, he shot 46.1% on 6.4 attempts per game.

Schakel appeared in Game 22 against the Celtics. October 2023 makes a 3-pointer and ends in Boston’s 112-94 loss.
