Parker's contract is non-guaranteed, so if the C's want to free up cap space, they can waive the veteran wing and enter the regular season with 14 players on the active roster. The Celtics also have an open two-way slot they could fill with a current free agent.
Boston's season begins Wednesday night against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
