The Celtics reportedly acquired Bol Bol and P.J. Dozier on Tuesday as part of a three-team deal with the Spurs and Nuggets, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Celtics traded Juancho Hernangomez to the Spurs, while the Nuggets picked up Bryn Forbes.
As noted by MassLive’s Brian Robb, the purpose of the move from the Celtics’ end was that it helped them trim $4 million in salary, thereby avoiding the salary tax. Dozier is likely out for the season after tearing his ACL in November. He previously signed with the Celtics on a two-way contract and played six games during the 2018-19 season.
