Celtics Acquire Center Porzingis
Deal Brings All-Star to Boston
Porzingis to Sign Two-Year, $60 Million Extension
The Boston Celtics have made a major move, signing All-Star center Kristaps Porzingis to a two-year, $60 million contract extension.
The 7-foot-3 Latvian is one of the most talented big men in the NBA, and his arrival in Boston gives the Celtics a major boost in the frontcourt. Porzingis averaged 22.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game last season with the Dallas Mavericks.
The Celtics have a young and talented roster, and the addition of Porzingis gives them one of the most formidable lineups in the Eastern Conference. He will be a valuable asset to a team that is looking to make a deep playoff run this season.
The Celtics acquired Porzingis from the Washington Wizards in a trade that sent Daniel Theis and Aaron Nesmith to the Wizards.
Porzingis is expected to make his Celtics debut on Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets.
