Boston Celtics Acquire Xavier Tillman in Second Transfer of the Day

Second transfer of the day with one day left before the closing of the winter market. The operation leads to the Boston Celtics acquiring Xavier Tillman and sends a pair of second-round draft picks to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange, as reported Adrian Wojnarowski (ESPN).

Tillman is 25 years old, played college at Michigan State, was selected in the second round of the 2020 draft and is in his fourth season in the NBA, all with the Grizzlies.

He is a strong 2.03m tall center who is in the last year of his contract (he receives a salary of 1.9 million dollars).

This season, the new Boston Celtics player is averaging 6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 20.6 minutes, after playing 34 games.

Boston’s move is aimed at improving the team’s second unit, which is the weakest point of a formation that dominates the NBA this season with a firm hand with a 38-12 record.
