Pruitt, a second-year player, was chosen by the Celtics with the 32nd pick in the 2007 draft.

The 6-foot-4, 170-pound guard averaged 2 points per game in 62 games. He last played for the Celtics during this year's Orlando Summer League, posting an average of 10.6 points, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

In February, the Celtics suspended guard Pruitt for two games after he was arrested in Hollywood, Calif., for misdemeanor drunken driving.
