The Boston Celtics have agreed to send the Cleveland Cavaliers an additional second-round pick to complete the teams' trade that involves star point guards Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas, league sources say.
The two teams had a deadline of 10 a.m. ET Thursday morning to come to an agreement on a trade that was bogged down concerns about Thomas' hip injury.
Both sides agreed to a deal on Aug. 22 that will send Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and the Brooklyn Nets unprotected 2018 first-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for Irving.
