Rockets trade Daniel Theis to Celtics for Dennis Schroder, Bruno Fernando and Enes Freedom

The Houston Rockets made a move right before the 2 p.m. CT trade deadline, sending away Daniel Theis to the Boston Celtics for Dennis Schroder, Bruno Fernando and Enes Freedom.

The Rockets also waived D.J. Augustin and Armoni Brooks to allow the deal to happen.

In a subsequent move, the Rockets waived Enes Freedom.

The deal reunites Theis in Boston, where began his NBA career with the Celtics from 2017-21.

The motivations in the trade for Houston were to move off of Theis’ three-year contract with expiring contracts.
