Celtics Agree to Trade Kris Dunn and Carsen Edwards to Grizzlies for Juancho Hernangomez

Juancho Hernangomez to the Celtics

The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Kris Dunn, Carsen Edwards, and a 2026 second-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies for Juancho Hernangomez, per a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Boston acquired Dunn alongside Bruno Fernando and a 2023 second-round pick in an offseason deal that sent Tristan Thompson to Sacramento, and Delon Wright to Atlanta.

Edwards was drafted 33rd overall by the Celtics in 2019 – but never carved out a role for himself in Boston’s backcourt.

Memphis acquired Hernangomez alongside Jarrett Culver last week in a deal that sent Patrick Beverley to the Timberwolves.

The deal between the Celtics and Grizzlies makes sense for Boston; who receive a floor-spacing power forward to play behind Jayson Tatum.

It makes less sense for Memphis; who already have too many players on their roster.

Look for the Grizzlies to deal Dunn to another team before the start of the season.
