The Memphis Grizzlies traded forward Juancho Hernangomez to the Boston Celtics for guards Kris Dunn, Carsen Edwards, and a 2026 second-round pick swap, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Hernangomez spent parts of the last two seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 8.4 points and 4.7 boards over 66 appearances. He was traded to the Grizzlies earlier this offseason after a falling-out with the T-Wolves' front office.

The floor-spacing big man was reportedly deeply upset after Minnesota barred him from playing for Spain in the Tokyo Olympics.

Meanwhile, Dunn played sparingly during his lone injury-plagued campaign with the Atlanta Hawks. He's proved to be a solid defender when healthy and finished second in the NBA in steals for the 2019-20 campaign. The 27-year-old never played a game for the Celtics after being acquired in a three-team deal last month.

Boston acquired Edwards from the Philadelphia 76ers on draft night two years ago. The 2019 second-round selection made only 68 appearances across two seasons with the Celtics.
