Porzingis to be traded to Atlanta Hawks - US media

ATLANTA, June 25 (LETA--ESPN) - Latvian big man Kristaps Porzingis has been involved in a three-team trade, US media report.
The NBA's Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets agreed to a three-team deal Tuesday that saw the Celtics send center Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Hawks, while Terance Mann and Atlanta's No. 22 pick headed to the Nets, and finally, Georges Niang and a second-rounder landed with the Celtics, ESPN reports.
Also, as part of the deal, Boston will receive Cleveland's 2031 second-round pick, which the Hawks previously had the rights to, and Atlanta will take Boston's least favorable 2026 second-round choice, sources told ESPN.
Even though the teams have agreed to the trade, it is believed it will be confirmed after July 6.
The Hawks finished in 8th place in the Eastern Conference standings this past season, but lost both play-in games and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Porzingis became the first ever Latvian to win the NBA title with the Celtics in 2024.
The 29-year-old Porzingis has one-year left on his current contract.
In 42 games for the Celtics this past season, Porzingis averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game.
The upcoming season will be the 11th NBA season for the Latvian.
