Just In, So Sad: Few days after Celtics acquire Xavier Tillman from Grizzlies for picks, He has confirmed…….

The Celtics procured Xavier Tillman from the Memphis Grizzlies for two future second-round picks, the group declared Wednesday, giving Boston large man profundity entering the stretch run.

Memphis is getting the Atlanta Falcons’ 2027 second-round pick and the Dallas Protesters’ 2030 second-round determination as a component of the arrangement, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, alongside forward Lamar Stevens.

Tillman, 25, is averaging 6 focuses and 4.6 bounce back for Memphis across 34 games this season. He has struggled with his shot, making 40.8 percent of his field goals, including 22.6% from three, but he is a strong inside defensive presence, averaging 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 20 minutes.

Coach Joe Mazzulla will use the 6-foot-7 Tillman, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet in the middle of Boston’s defense, as a backup.
