After previous reports indicated a three-team deal involving the Clippers had fallen through, Washington and the Celtics worked up against a midnight ET deadline in order to find a new arrangement.

The new trade reportedly involves the Grizzlies as the facilitating third team, and will see Tyus Jones dealt to the Wizards.

As part of the trade, longtime Celtics guard Marcus Smart will reportedly be traded to Memphis, where he figures to serve as the team’s starting point guard amid Ja Morant’s 25-game suspension to start the season. Smart had spent his entire nine-year career in Boston.
