Kristaps Porzingis became a fan-favorite over his two seasons playing for the Boston Celtics.

That said, the Celtics have officially traded the 2024 NBA Champion to the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team deal.

Via Celtics.com : " The Boston Celtics announced the completion of two separate trades today. First, the team has acquired guard Anfernee Simons from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for guard Jrue Holiday. Second, the team has acquired forward Georges Niang and Cleveland’s 2031 second round draft pick from Atlanta as part of a three-team transaction that sends forward/center Kristaps Porzingis and a 2026 second round draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks."
