No stranger to getting traded, new Boston Celtics big man Moritz Wagner has been in the NBA for three seasons counting this one, and has been traded as many times in that stretch.
Two of those trades came in the same day on Thursday in fact, Wagner having been deal from the Washington Wizards to the Chicago Bulls, who in turn dealt him to the Celtics. Drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers out of the University of Michigan with the 25th pick of the 2018 NBA draft, the German big man made his debut for Boston the very next day in the Celtics win against the Milwaukee Bucks.
After playing 10 minutes and hitting one of his two 3-point attempts to score as many points in his inaugural tilt with Boston, Wagner spoke to the press after the game to talk about how his rapid integration with the team was going.
