By Alex Kuczynski-Brown

Graduated senior Ryan Wittman has signed an NBA Summer League deal with the reigning Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics. The Celtics, who lost in seven games to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2010 NBA Finals, will play in the AirTran Airways Pro Summer League in Orlando, Fla., beginning on July 5.

Second-round draft pick Luke Harangody, an All-American out of Notre Dame, is expected to be among Wittman’s teammates in Orlando.
