“I’m happy and grateful to be back,” said recently-reunited Boston Celtic Daniel Theis of the team that had just traded to get the same player they had dealt away at the previous trade deadline, and before any reporter could even get a question in to the veteran big man about his return to the team.
Theis, who was dealt to the Chicago Bulls as a last-minute deal to duck underneath the luxury tax at this stage of the 2020-21 NBA season, was speaking with the media in Boston for the first time since being dealt back to the Celtics from the Houston Rockets on Thursday.
“I was kind of relieved,” said the German big man of how he felt when he got the news he’d been traded back to Boston.
