The Boston Celtics will give people a lot to look at given their lengthy injury report ahead of a Wednesday night showdown with the Houston Rockets, but their absences aren't all trade-related.

The Boston Celtics were already in a tough spot today.

In its most recent game, Boston defeated the Mavericks on Tuesday, 110-100.

The Celtics have likely already made their big move of this year’s NBA trade deadline, sending guard Anfernee Simons to Chicago in exchange for Nikola Vucevic on Tuesday.

After spending the last couple of seasons hearing his name in trade rumors, Nikola Vucevic is on the move.

Fresh off winning his first career NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month award earlier in the day, Jaylen Brown led Boston with 33 points and 11 rebounds in his second straight double-double.
