Valentine was initially acquired via waivers by the Maine Celtics in Jan. 2022. In 12 games with Boston's G-League affiliate, he averaged 14.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.0 assists. He was considered a longshot to make the Celtics' regular-season roster.
The C's move to waive Valentine came shortly after the reported signing of veteran Blake Griffin to a one-year fully-guaranteed contract.
The Celtics will open their preseason on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets.
