Being out for more than 2 years from the league as a free agent Joe Johnson finally landed a contract with his first team and the 40 year old veteran is expected to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden.

The Boston Celtics signed Joe Johnson a 10-day contract under hardship exception of National Basketball Association since the team has multiple players from the roster as well as rotation side-lined due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols of the league. The team being short on players will result in ample time for the veteran to show some magic on the court and have a great return.

The COVID-19 outbreak has gifted a opportunity to Joe Johnson to prove himself and make a comeback run to the league as he has already created history and started a elite club of his own which will be really hard to break or enter in. The 40 year old veteran can help the Boston Celtics with his play making and isolation skills and his influence will also torch up the young guns of the team.
