5 things to know about new Celtics big man Xavier Tillman

Brad Stevens and the Celtics have made their first move.

With just over 25 hours remaining until the NBA trade deadline, the Celtics acquired forward Xavier Tillman from the Memphis Grizzlies, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

According to Wojnarowski, the Celtics are sending a 2027 second-round pick and a 2030 second-round pick to Memphis as part of the deal.

Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports added that Boston is also sending Lamar Stevens to the Grizzlies in order to both maintain its $6.2 million Grant Williams traded player exception and keep an open roster spot ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline.
