The deal is contingent on the players passing
their physicals.
Niang is headed to Utah just a month after being dealt to Boston
as part of a three-team deal that sent Kristaps Porzingis to
Atlanta. Niang previously spent four seasons with Utah. He
appeared in 79 games split between Atlanta and Cleveland last
season when he averaged a career-high 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds
and 1.4 assists per game.
Shedding the final year of Niang's salary for next season will
save Boston $8 million in luxury taxes, and allow it to stay
under the second penalty apron following the addition of Chris
Boucher, who agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million deal.
Boucher has spent the past seven seasons with Toronto, where he
was part of its 2019 championship team.
