Celtics Make Major Trades Amid Tatum Injury
The Boston Celtics have made significant roster changes, trading Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks and Jrue Holiday to the Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons, primarily to address salary cap constraints as Jayson Tatum is expected to miss most or all of the 2025-26 season with an Achilles injury. Porzingis, who contributed to Boston's 2024 NBA title run despite his own injuries, departs as the Celtics now lack depth at center. The team is reportedly seeking veteran big men such as Nikola Vucevic or Richaun Holmes, potentially in deals involving Simons, who may be traded again for further payroll relief. There is also speculation about a reunion with Marcus Smart, whose large contract could complicate a return from the Wizards. Rookie Hugo Gonzalez has impressed in summer workouts with his defensive play, providing some optimism for the future. President Brad Stevens described the moves as necessary for long-term flexibility and expressed gratitude to outgoing veterans.
