Mike Muscala was traded to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday by the Boston Celtics in a three-team deal. He'll be packing his bags for a second time in mere months after being a trade deadline acquisition from Oklahoma City. Muscala suited up in 20 games for the Celtics, averaging 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds, which are around his career average numbers. As it currently stands, Muscala is set to be the backup center to
Daniel Gafford, and he likely won't be getting enough minutes to be fantasy-relevant.

Mike Muscala has been traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Boston Celtics in exchange for
Justin Jackson and two second-round picks. The big man from Bucknell joins the fifth team of his 10-year NBA career. Muscala averaged only 14.5 minutes per game for the Thunder this season and his prospects in Boston aren't looking great either, with
Robert Williams III and
Al Horford among the team's center options. Jackson finds himself back in Oklahoma City after starting the 2020-21 campaign with the team. He's been bouncing around a lot of teams and sees very little action, so fantasy managers can safely ignore him.

Mike Muscala will be returning to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the 2022-23 season, the team announced Thursday. Muscala had his team option declined back in June, but the two sides were able to come to a new agreement. The 31-year-old will be entering his fourth season with the Thunder, having previously averaged 7.3 points and three rebounds per outing across 125 contests. Known for his sharpshooting ability from the frontcourt, Muscala has knocked down an average of 1.5 threes per game, all while shooting at a 39.2 percent clip from deep during his Oklahoma City tenure. Minutes will likely not be plentiful for the veteran, but he will be a name to eye if injuries slow the Thunder big men.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have declined the team option of $3.5 million on power forward/center
Mike Muscala. The 30-year-old will now become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Muscala spent each of the last three years with the Thunder. Last season, he shot a career-high 42.9% from three-point range on 3.8 attempts per game. He's a career 37.7% three-point shooter and a career 84.7% free throw shooter. He should be a target this offseason for teams looking to add big men who can help stretch an offense.
