The Detroit Pistons signed Maine Celtics guard Ron Harper Jr. to a two-way contract Monday.
Harper played 14 games for Maine this season, averaging 14.1 points in 24.6 minutes per game. He shot 48.3% from the field, including 39.2% from 3-point range.
The 24-year-old Harper, who played four seasons at Rutgers and is the son of a former NBA player, was signed to a two-day deal with the Toronto Raptors in 2022-23 and 2023-24. He participated in the Boston Celtics’ training camp this year before joining the Maine Celtics.
Harper is the 22nd Maine Celtics player to earn a call-up to the NBA and the first since Luka Samanic in the 2022-23 season.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
