The Hornets waived Peterson on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson has spent most of the 2025-26 season either deep on the Hornets' bench or in the G League with the Greensboro Swarm, where he has averaged 14.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.9 steals in 32.1 minutes per game. Peterson will hit the waiver wire and could garner interest from teams looking to add a young wing to their rotation.

Charlotte transferred Peterson to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With some injuries in Charlotte, Peterson has been able to log some minutes at the NBA level. Through four appearances, he has averaged 13.3 minutes per game with 1.3 points and 1.8 rebounds. He shot 14.3 percent from the field in those games, however.

Peterson was transferred to the G League's Greensboro Swarm from the NBA roster Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson continues to shift back and forth between the Swarm and Hornets. He saw the court for the Hornets twice this week, marking his first two NBA appearances of the season. He totaled five points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 35 minutes over this two-game stretch.

The Hornets transferred Peterson to the NBA roster from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson will rejoin the parent club ahead of Monday's game against the Raptors. The two-way player has appeared in two outings with Greensboro this season, averaging 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest during that span.

Peterson agreed to a two-way contract with the Hornets on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson will join the Hornets after spending most of the past two seasons as a two-way player for Boston. The 25-year-old forward appeared in 25 games for the Celtics in 2024-25, averaging 2.2 points and 1.6 rebounds across 7.4 minutes per contest. Peterson is likely to see the bulk of his playing time in the G League in 2025-26, though he should have a clearer path to seeing minutes at the NBA level with the Hornets than he did in Boston.

Peterson is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Celtics will rest most of their regulars Thursday, except Jayson Tatum and Derrick White, meaning Peterson will get a spot start here in what'll be the first start of his NBA career. He isn't expected to see a significant role despite the starting role, so his fantasy prospects shouldn't improve dramatically.

Peterson (concussion) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson is set to be available for the Celtics on Wednesday after missing the past two games with a concussion. However, the 25-year-old is playing just 9.9 minutes per game over 11 appearances in the NBA this season and isn't a lock to see the court against Toronto.

Peterson (concussion) won't play Sunday versus the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson will miss a second straight contest for Boston. He's appeared in 11 total games for the Celtics this season, and his absence won't have many fantasy implications.

Peterson (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson is currently in concussion protocol and won't be ready to return for Friday's matchup with the Kings. The 25-year-old has played in 11 games for the Celtics this season, averaging 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, shooting 50 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Peterson tallied seven points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes Monday in the Celtics' 108-89 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

After playing just eight total minutes through the Celtics' first 19 games of the season, Peterson has now handled 25- and 26-minute workloads off the bench in Boston's last two contests. A two-way player, Peterson was a standout performer in his two G League stops in 2023-24 and has continued to shine with the Maine Celtics over five appearances in 2024-25, but playing time at the NBA level only recently opened up due to Boston holding out Jaylen Brown and Derrick White in Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers and Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (foot), Al Horford (toe) and Sam Hauser (personal) on Monday. All four of those players could return to action for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, so Peterson is likely to find himself back outside of the rotation rather than getting another 20-plus-minute role.
