Caboclo has played for four different teams over six NBA seasons. He spent the entire 2021-22 campaign with São Paulo FC in his home country of Brazil.
The Caboclo news comes a few hours after it was reported that Celtics starting center Robert Williams III will have arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, a procedure expected to keep him sidelined for four to six weeks.

The Celtics open the regular season Oct. 18 against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden.
