On a day where plenty of organizations swapped around players and assets ahead of the 2022 NBA trade deadline, two former Maryland men’s basketball players found themselves on the move to a different team.
Jalen Smith and Bruno Fernando were both traded yesterday by the Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics, respectively. Smith was traded with a future second-round pick to the Indiana Pacers for forward Torrey Craig. Then there’s Fernando, who was shipped from the Boston Celtics to the Houston Rockets in a trade that also involved guard Dennis Schroder.
