BOSTON (AP) The Boston Celtics have signed free agent guard Mateen Cleaves to their training camp roster. 
Cleaves, a former Michigan State standout who played for the Sacramento Kings last season, joins other rookie and free agent signees at the team's Waltham training camp before the veterans start reporting on Thursday. The team announced the move Tuesday. 
The 6-foot-2 Cleaves played 17 games for Sacramento last season, averaging 1.3 points in less than five minutes per game. Cleaves' best season was his rookie year with Detroit in 2000-01, when he averaged 5.4 points and 2.7 assists in 16.3 minutes per game.
