Shayok signed a contract with the Boston Celtics, according to Keith Smith.

He had a disappointing season at Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in 2021-22. The Turkish powerhouse parted ways with Shayok ahead of the last season's finale.

The EuroLeague rookie averaged 4.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 2.4 PIR over 17 games (12 minutes) in the strongest continental league last season.

The 27-year-old Canadian swingman suffered from a left shoulder injury last campaign, missing a significant amount of duels.

Before coming to Fenerbahce, the 54th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft had his breakout stint in the Old Continent with Frutti Extra Bursaspor.

He averaged 18.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 12 Turkish League matches in 2020-21.
