Malcolm Brogdon News
Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon is reportedly angry with the team after the Celtics tried to trade him to the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason. "Malcolm is the one I'm concerned about, too, because we've heard nothing," Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe said on a recent episode of the Celtics Beat podcast when discussing pre-training camp injuries. "And he's angry with the team. So, I don't think communication between the two sides has been fruitful." Brogdon suffered an elbow injury in the Eastern Conference Finals. Washburn suggested that Brogdon might elect to skip surgery, which will slow his recovery process, to fix the issue as something of a revenge act for the team's trade attempt.
According to Steve Bulpett of Heavy.com, the Celtics aren't interested in trading guard Malcolm Brogdon. The 30-year-old averaged 14.9 points in 2022-23, down from the previous season. However, he logged 67 games, the most since his rookie season, and shot a career-high 44.4% from deep. At one point, Brogdon was to be included in a swap for Kristaps Porzingis. But after concerns surrounding his health surfaced, he remains in Boston. That said, Marcus Smart is gone, leaving Boston with a void in the backcourt. Brogdon could easily be the team's floor general, although he'll need to avoid missing time, which has been a issue for fantasy managers in the past.
According to ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst, Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon could still get moved over the summer. The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and shot 44.4% from deep last season. However, he was nearly traded to the Clippers ahead of the 2023 NBA Draft, although it didn't happen due to health concerns. But Brogdon is a proven producer when healthy, and the two years remaining on his contract makes him an attractive option for multiple teams throughout the National Basketball Association.
Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens believes guard Malcolm Brogdon (forearm) will be ready when 2023-2024 commences. Brogdon suffered a partially torn tendon in his right arm early in the Eastern Conference Finals. It's still unknown if the 30-year-old will opt for surgery, which could affect his return timetable. Despite not being dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of the Kristaps Porzingis deal, Brogdon was a fantasy winner when the Celtics shipped out longtime glue guy Marcus Smart. Brogdon saw a slight uptick in production during contests without Smart last season, amassing 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in those 15 outings. The 2023 Sixth Man of the Year may not have started a single game, but that could change in the upcoming campaign.
