Nuggets acquire Bryn Forbes in a three-team in trade with Spurs and Celtics

PJ Dozier and Bol Bol sent to Boston. Juancho Hernangomez and a 2028 second round pick acquired by the Spurs

The Denver Nuggets have acquired Bryn Forbes from the San Antonio Spurs in a three-team trade that involved also the Boston Celtics.

Per ESPN, The Nuggets will send Bol Bol and P.J. Dozier to the Celtics, and the Spurs will acquire Boston forward Juancho Hernangomez and Denver’s 2028 second-round pick, sources said.

The Nuggets are hopeful Forbes can improve their 3-point shooting. The Celtics will save approximately $3 million in salary on the deal, which will help them avoid the luxury tax. Dozier is lost for the season with an ACL tear, and Bol underwent foot surgery on Tuesday that’s expected to sideline him for three months. Dozier is an unrestricted free agent this summer, and Bol will be a restricted free agent.

Boston has no immediate plans to waive Dozier or Bol, certainly not before the Feb. 10 trade deadline.
