Former Boston Celtics big man battling injury in France finals

While Daniel Theis ended up on a contending AS Monaco team that's in the French finals, he won't be able to contribute going forward. The former Celtics big man is out for the rest of the series due to a knee injury, per multiple reports. AS Monaco is down 1-0 in the best-of-five series to Paris Basketball in the top French league. So as AS Monaco looks to bounce back from a 94-82 loss, it'll have to do so without Theis, who had been a big part of the team. He's averaged 11.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in EuroLeague play since being signed back in February. Advertisement Theis started the season on the Pelicans, where he played in 38 games (nine starts), averaging 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. But the Pelicans elected to move him to the Thunder to avoid the luxury tax. Theis was then waived from Oklahoma City, making him a free agent. While Theis could've explored the NBA market after getting waived, he elected to sign overseas with the French squad. AS Monaco earned the No. 3 seed in the French playoffs before making it to the finals. While Theis could try to make an NBA comeback, for now, he's put a pause on that part of his career. Theis played for the Celtics in two different stints that also included an appearance in the 2022 NBA Finals. He also suited up for the Bulls, Rockets, Pacers and Clippers during his time in the NBA. While he saw his playing time slowly start to diminish stateside, he got an opportunity for a larger role overseas with AS Monaco. More Celtics content Read the original article on MassLive.

Brad Stevens reveals motive behind Cooper Flagg interview for Celtics

BOSTON — The Celtics, like 29 other NBA teams, are assigned 20 players to interview at the NBA Draft Combine every May in Chicago. Heads turned last week when Yahoo Sports reported that projected No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg was one of the players Boston interviewed, despite the fact the Celtics hold just the No. 28 and No. 32 picks in the 2025 NBA Draft. Was the interview with the New England phenom an indication that the Celtics are trying to do something splashy on draft night? Not quite, according to Brad Stevens. Advertisement 'We can rank who we want to talk to,' Stevens said of combine interviews on Monday at his season-ending press conference. 'The people we know who we can't get in to work out is how we decide who we want to talk to. Otherwise, we may never get to talk to them again. So the only people that come and work out for us are the people that think they're in a range or bottom of our range, or whatever the case may be. So that doesn't really have anything to do with any of that. Will there be fireworks on draft night? I can't imagine. But again, who knows? I wouldn't guess with us, no.' The Celtics could be making some splashy moves with big names this offseason amid a financial crunch following a disappointing second-round exit. However, that activity will not be coming on draft night, according to Stevens. 'I think generally, one of the concerns with the new CBA was it might limit trade activity or movement, and I don't know,' Stevens said. 'I don't think, necessarily even big-picture, that's the case. I think there are no specifics at all. But I wouldn't be surprised to see movement continue to happen across the league. But as far as us and moving up to those levels in the draft, I would guess that that is probably not a thing.' Boston currently holds their own first round pick at No. 28 overall and an early second-round pick at No. 32 (via Washington). Advertisement 'We'll evaluate who we think will be available at 28 and 32,' Stevens said. 'We just got done with two draft workouts today, and so we'll have plenty of time to thoroughly evaluate who we think those people might be, and if we want to try to move up, try to move back, whatever, we'll see how it all goes. But I think when you're at 28 and 32 you're not exactly able to pinpoint exactly how that night's going to go.' The 2025 NBA Draft will take place over two nights at the Barclays Center beginning June 25th. Read the original article on MassLive.

Celtics rival listed in preferred Kevin Durant trade destinations (report)

The Kevin Durant trade sweepstakes are starting to get momentum ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft as three teams are at the top of his list. Per ESPN's Shams Charania, the Heat, Spurs and Rockets are Durant's preferred trade destinations. Charania reports that Durant would sign long-term extensions with each of those franchises. Durant, 36, is on an expiring $54.7 million deal. So teams looking to trade for the All-Star could be looking to keep him beyond just the 2025-26 season. Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists last season in 62 games, so even though he's getting older, it's clear he can still impact the game at a high level. Advertisement Charania originally reported several teams were hoping to trade for one of the best scorers of all-time. He also reported that the Suns "have made clear to six-to-eight seriously interested teams that they will make the best deal for the franchise." So, Durant could still end up on a separate team outside of his preferred list. The Heat could make a big swing if they landed Durant, though it could get costly. Miami was mediocre last season, finishing 37-45 after trading Jimmy Butler midseason. While they showed some life to earn the No. 8 seed in the playoffs by getting through the play-in tournament, all they got was a sweep at the hands of the No. 1-seeded Cavaliers in the first round. While there have been other trade rumors, where Durant ends up is the big early question mark of the offseason. He's still shown to be a game-changing player, so contending teams could view him as a potential last piece. More Celtics content Read the original article on MassLive.
