Before Daniel Theis signed a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers in November, a couple of Celtics stars reportedly attempted to facilitate his return to Boston.
According to MassLive’s Brian Robb and Souichi Terada, both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown talked to Theis about a reunion during his brief time as a free agent.
Theis began the year with the Indiana Pacers, a situation which Theis said was “just not right for me.” The former Celtics center had his contract bought out by the Pacers, and sought more playing time elsewhere.
Boston has been rumored to be in the market for more big man depth behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford.
