Former Boston Celtics draft pick Gerald Green will return to the team, agreeing to a one-year contract, according to media reports.

The Celtics also agreed to a two-year deal with restricted free agent Tyler Zeller, according to a Boston Herald report.

Boston selected Green, a guard/forward, with the 18th pick in the 2005 draft. He played two seasons for the Celtics, before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of the trade that brought Kevin Garnett to Boston.

Green has also played for Houston, Dallas, New Jersey, Indiana, Phoenix and Miami.

Last season Green played 69 games for the Heat, averaging 8.9 points in 22.6 minutes per game.

Zeller agreed to a two-year deal worth $8 million per year, according to the Boston Herald report. The 7-foot forward/center averaged 6.1 points in 60 games for Boston last season.

Zeller joined the Celtics in 2014 after two seasons with Cleveland.

He got a small taste of the NBA by playing in two summer leagues for the Celtics earlier this month.

Guerschon Yabusele will have to wait until next year for some more NBA action.

Drafted 16th by the Celtics in June, the 20-year-old forward will spend the 2016-17 season playing for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association.

The team, owned by former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming, listed Yabusele on its roster Thursday after he agreed to a reported one-year contract.
