Boston Celtics Acquires Kristaps Porzingis in Three-Team Trade
Celtics Receive Star Forward-Center in Blockbuster Deal
In a major shakeup of the NBA landscape, the Boston Celtics have acquired All-Star centerforward Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards as part of a three-team trade. The Celtics also received a 2023 Memphis first-round draft pick as part of the deal.
Porzingis Opts into Contract, Joining Celtics' Dynamic Lineup
Porzingis, who has agreed to opt into the final year of his contract, brings a unique combination of size, skill, and athleticism to the Celtics' already formidable lineup. The 7-foot-3 Latvian has averaged 20.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game over his career.
The addition of Porzingis gives the Celtics a formidable frontcourt presence alongside All-Star forward Jayson Tatum and All-NBA Defensive Team selection Robert Williams III. The Celtics are now poised to make a deep run in the Eastern Conference playoffs and challenge for the NBA championship.
