The Boston Celtics got the point guard they were seeking Friday. Boston reportedly acquired Malcolm Brogdon in a trade with the Indiana Pacers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The deal will cost the Celtics five players and a 2023 first-round pick. None of the players going back to the Pacers are considering part of Boston's core.
In exchange for Brogdon, the Pacers will receive Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan, Aaron Nesmith, Nik Stauskas and Daniel Theis.
Brogdon, 29, averaged 19.1 points and 5.9 assists per contest last season.
