The Jazz traded Niang (foot), Walter Clayton, Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson (illness) and three first-round picks to the Grizzlies on Tuesday in exchange for Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck), Jock Landale and Vince Williams, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Niang continues to recover from offseason foot surgery, which prevented him from making his season debut with Utah. The forward remains without a clear timeline for a return, so it's difficult to envision how Niang's presence might affect the Memphis rotation until he finally takes the floor in 2025-26.

Rotowire
The Celtics are trading Niang and two future second-round picks to the Jazz for RJ Luis, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After initially joining the Celtics as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade earlier this offseason, Niang is on the move once again to land with a team he spent four seasons with earlier in his career.

Celtics' Georges Niang: Headed to Boston
Rotowire
The Hawks traded Niang and a second-round pick to the Celtics on Tuesday in a three-team deal that sent Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick back to Atlanta, and Terance Mann and the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to the Nets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Niang was traded from the Cavaliers to the Hawks in February of 2025 and averaged 12.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.0 minutes across his 28 regular-season appearances for Atlanta. Due to Jayson Tatum (Achilles) potentially being out for all of 2025-26, Niang could compete for a starting role in the Celtics' forward rotation. This trade, combined with swapping Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons, has dropped the Celtics below the second apron.
