The Boston Celtics acquired Malcolm Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers on Friday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, delivering the kind of playmaking point guard whom president of basketball operations Brad Stevens and coach Ime Udoka believed they needed to elevate the franchise as a championship contender.

The Pacers are getting a 2023 first-round pick and five players from the Celtics in return, including center Daniel Theis and 2020 first-round pick Aaron Nesmith, sources told Wojnarowski.

Neither team can announce the deal until next week, but Brogdon told ESPN's Marc Spears that he is happy to land in Boston.
