A person with knowledge of the details says the Boston Celtics have
landed Amir Johnson with a two-year deal worth $24 million.

The veteran power forward agreed to leave Toronto and stay within
the Atlantic Division on Wednesday. The person spoke to The
Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no deals can be
signed yet.

Johnson averaged 9.3 points and 6.1 rebounds for the Atlantic
champions last season, his sixth in Toronto. The 6-foot-9 Johnson
began his career in Detroit, where he was a second-round pick in
2005.

He can now look for minutes in a Boston forward-center rotation
that includes Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk and Tyler
Zeller.  (Associated Press)
