The Boston Celtics have traded point guard Kemba Walker to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Al Horford and Moses Brown, sources tell The Athletic.

As part of the trade package, Oklahoma City also will receive Boston's No. 16 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and a 2025 second-round draft pick. The Thunder will send a 2023 second-round pick to the Celtics.

During two seasons with the Celtics, Walker averaged 19.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 99 games. The four-time All-Star struggled with a bone bruise during the Celtics' first-round playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets, missing the final two games.

Walker, 31, has two years and more than $73 million remaining on his contract.

Horford, 35, returns to Boston after previously playing for the franchise from 2016 to 2019. He has two years and $53.5 million remaining on his contract, with a partial guarantee of $14.5 million for the 2022-23 season. Horford was sent to the Thunder from the Philadelphia 76ers in a trade for Danny Green last November.

Brown, 21, averaged 8.6 points and 8.9 rebounds in his second season and signed a multi-year deal with Oklahoma City in March.
