According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Celtics will give the Grizzlies Lamar Stevens and two second-round draft picks, one in 2027 and another in 2030, for Tillman.

Since being drafted No. 35 in the second round in 2020, Tillman has played for the Memphis team.

With the Grizzlies, Tillman averaged 6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game on 40.8% field goal shooting this year.

He has reached these statistics in 20.6 minutes per game, which is a slight improvement from last year. However, the forward's field goal shooting has suffered between the seasons, as it was 61.4% last year.
