Celtics' Anthony to exercise player option

Boston Celtics forward/center Joel Anthony will exercise his player option for the 2014-15 season and return to the C’s, a league source informed CSNNW.com.

Although Anthony isn’t too thrilled with the current rebuilding phase of the organization, passing up a sizable guaranteed salary is not something he’s willing to do, the source explained.

Anthony, 31, will earn $3.8 million next season and become an unrestricted free agent at the conclusion of the 2014-15 campaign.
