Hugo González, Baylor Scheierman extend tenure with Boston Celtics

Saturday, Oct. 31, marked an important day for Boston Celtics wings Baylor Scheierman and Hugo González. It was the deadline for the Green Team to make a decision on the club options for the aforementioned C's. There was no spooky contract drama on Halloween night, though, as the Celtics picked up both 2027-28 rookie scale options on Friday afternoon, per Keith Smith of Spotrac.These two moves will fully guarantee Scheierman and González's money for next season and, barring a trade or another unforeseen maneuver, keep them in the green and white until 2028 at the very least. Following the 2027-28 campaign, González will encounter a club option once again while Scheierman will become a restricted free agent — unless he's extended next summer.Boston's backup wings have put together a relatively slow start to the season. González logged 0 points in his first two outings before scorching the Chicago Bulls on Monday night with 13 points on almost 67 percent shooting during a 134-99 victory. Scheierman has been even quieter. He's yet to score in double figures but has averaged a little over 17 minutes per game thus far.Through four contests, the Celtics hold a 3-1 record and hover around the top of the Eastern Conference standings. They could tie the 4-1 Detroit Pistons and 4-1 Philadelphia 76ers with a win on Friday night versus the Bulls at TD Garden.Although 26-year-old Scheierman and 20-year-old González haven't wowed to open up the regular season, they provide the Celtics with crucial depth and should be called upon more in November..oembed-frame {width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;border:0;}.oembed-frame {width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;border:0;}Listen to "On Week 1 of the 2026-27 season for Celtics, NBA (no beef included)" on Spreaker.Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on:Blue Wire: https://tiny.ee/CdKp iTunes: https://tiny.ee/RK47 YouTube: https://tiny.ee/cOW3This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Hugo González, Baylor Scheierman extend tenure with Boston Celtics
