The Boston Celtics’ long courtship of Sly Williams paid off when they signed the forward, who was waived Monday by the Atlanta Hawks.

Williams, limited by injuries to playing in just 47 games in the last two NBA seasons, reportedly signed a guaranteed one-year contract worth $70,000. The Hawks will pay the rest of his $450,000 salary, according to reports.
