(WPRI) - The Celtics are no longer a team without a big man.

Multiple media sources are reporting that Kevin Garnett has agreed to return to Boston.
 
The Boston Globe reports that Garnett has agreed to a three-year deal, and Yahoo! reports the contract is worth a total of $34 million dollars.
 
Garnett made about $21 million last season meaning he will make about half of that per season in the new deal.
 
There was a lot of talk about Garnett retiring during this season, but his performance in the playoffs -19.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game -  made it more likely that he would return.
 
The Celtics will now turn to other free agents including Ray Allen, Jeff Green, and Brandon Bass.
