The Celtics made a pair of moves Tuesday to slightly alter their roster while also saving some money in the process.

Boston, which will be without star Jayson Tatum for most of the year after he suffered a torn Achilles, is clearly looking to save money this season. After trading Niang and signing Boucher, the Celtics are now $6.9 million below the second apron and $5 million over the first apron.

The Boston Celtics have reportedly signed veteran big man Chris Boucher to a one-year contract this offseason.
