After initial reports surfaced about a Tristan Thompson move from Boston to Atlanta, it appears the Toronto native is in fact moving on to Sacramento via a three-team deal between the Celtics, Hawks and Kings, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Acquired by Atlanta from Boston in exchange for Kris Dunn, Bruno Fernando and a 2023 second-round pick, Thompson was then flipped to Sacramento for Delon Wright.
