Boston spent the last three seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. Last season, he averaged 5.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in just 10.8 minutes per game, indicating his ability to contribute in limited playing time.

Before joining the Pelicans, Boston signed with the San Antonio Spurs on August 8. However, he was waived by the Spurs just over two months later, leading to his availability on the waiver wire.
