2026 NBA trade deadline recap
Just over a month ago, some NBA executives were predicting a quiet trade deadline. And entering this past weekend, it looked like we might be headed that way, with just one trade – the Wizards acquiring Trae Young – having been completed through the first three-plus months of the 2025/26 season.
The 2026 NBA Trade Deadline arrived at 3 p.m. ET today. Check out every reported trade that was made this week. All officially completed deals can be found on the Trade Tracker. Charlotte has agreed to trade guard Tyus Jones to Dallas. The Hornets acquired Jones earlier this week in a deal with Orlando.
The Boston Celtics were one of the busiest teams at the trade deadline. Boston made three trades on Thursday, reshaping the roster and dramatically altering the financial outlook for the franchise. The moves addressed the team’s need for frontcourt depth while slashing payroll and dropping below the luxury tax line.
Austin Reaves led the Los Angeles Lakers to a comeback victory over the Philadelphia 76ers after Luka Doncic got hurt.
The Wizards’ acquisition of Anthony Davis headlined a busy day of deals.
The 2026 NBA trade deadline is officially in the rearview mirror. There will be moves made throughout the league in the coming days and months — buyouts, waives, contracts, and claims — but there won’t be any more trades made until the season is over.
The Los Angeles Lakers struggled greatly offensively in the second half, resulting in a loss to the New York Knicks.
