The Boston Celtics traded guard Anfernee Simons to the Chicago Bulls, receiving center Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick in return, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday.

The Celtics shored up their front court by adding Nikola Vucevic into the mix ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

The Celtics demolished the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Bucks 107-79 in one of their more lopsided victories of the NBA's 2025-26 regular season.

The Celtics started slow but recovered quickly, thanks to Anfernee Simons getting hot right away and Jaylen Brown recovering from a bad first quarter, to blow out the Bucks.
