Enes Kanter is coming back to the Eastern Conference, joining the Boston Celtics.

The Athletic reported that the deal would pay Kanter $10 million.

Kanter began last season with the New York Knicks and was playing well, averaging 14 points and 10.5 rebounds.

The Turkish center then signed with the Portland Trail Blazers and ended up starting after Jusuf Nurkic’s season-ending injury.
