Recent reporting from Sportico's Kurt Badenhausen and Scott Soshnick relates that the sale is about two weeks away from being finalized with the NBA.

This week, the Boston Celtics made the announcement that they had traded Georges Niang to the Utah Jazz. Niang was traded to the Celtics over the offseason, so he never appeared in a game for the franchise. Via The Boston Celtics: "We have traded Georges Niang and two future second-round picks to the Utah Jazz for RJ Luis Jr"

Naturally, expectations are muted for the Celtics going into next season. They had to overhaul their roster and they’re expected to lose four rotation players from last year’s team. Jayson Tatum is also out for the foreseeable future due to his ruptured Achilles tendon.
