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

Guard John Tonje heads to Boston, while Utah also receives a second-round draft pick and cash.

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.

Tonje, 24, was selected by Utah in the second round of last year's NBA draft out of Wisconsin, but he has yet to make his NBA debut. He is averaging 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists through 18 games in the NBA's second-tier G League.

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.
