Two days after acquiring center Nikola Vucevic, the Boston Celtics are trading forward Chris Boucher to the Utah Jazz, ESPN reported on Thursday.

There was no immediate word on the Celtics' return in the deal. The trade deadline is Thursday at 3 p.m. ET.

Boucher, 33, signed a one-year contract in the offseason but played just one game since Nov. 23.

In nine games off the bench with Boston, he averaged 2.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per game. In nine seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors and Celtics, Boucher has averaged 8.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 416 games (23 starts).

Along with opening up a roster spot for the Celtics, shipping out Boucher sheds $2.3 million from their salary cap.

The Vucevic deal, which sent guard Anfernee Simons to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, shored up the Celtics' frontcourt and saved the team about $6 million.
