Boston entered this week with 14 standard roster spots, so it didn’t see much movement when it came to the main club. With Niang gone, the Celtics used the newly-open roster slot to sign Boucher. That move allowed the Celtics to save money while also giving C’s coach Joe Mazzulla another option in the 6-foot-9 Boucher.

First, the Celtics traded Georges Niang and two second-round draft picks to the Jazz for undrafted two-way wing RJ Luis. They then signed forward Chris Boucher to a one-year contract. All in all, they get off Niang’s $8.

Jayson Tatum was spotted at practice on Wednesday —- just not on a basketball court. The Celtics star made an appearance at the New England Patriots’ joint training camp practice with the Washington Commanders.

Nearly three months removed from a devastating torn Achilles injury, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is looking more comfortable using his legs.
