The Celtics didn't re-sign Aminu after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boston moved on from both Aminu and center Norvel Pelle on Tuesday, after both players' services were no longer needed now that the Celtics have most of their roster available again following a wave of COVID-19-related absences. During his week-and-a-half-long stint with Boston, Aminu went unused off the bench.

Aminu will sign a 10-day hardship deal with the Celtics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boston adds Aminu and Norvel Pelle to counter increased COVID absences. Aminu has plenty of NBA experience but was waived by the Spurs earlier in the year before playing in a game, so he figures to make his season debut as a member of the Celtics.

The Spurs waived Aminu on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aminu appeared in only one preseason game due to an illness, which may have cost him a spot on the opening day roster. The 6-foot-8 forward was traded to the Spurs this offseason as a part of the deal that sent DeMar DeRozan to Chicago, but he will likely start the regular season as a free agent.

Aminu is out for Friday's preseason finale against the Rockets due to an upper respiratory infection, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aminu has appeared in just one preseason game for the Spurs. It's not clear if he'll be a regular part of the rotation.

Aminu, along with Thaddeus Young, a future first-round pick and two second-round picks, has been traded to the Spurs from the Bulls in exchange for DeMar DeRozan, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aminu arrived in Chicago as part of the Nikola Vucevic trade and exercised his $10.2 million player option for the 2021-22 season, which allowed the Bulls to use his salary to acquire DeRozan. The 30-year-old Aminu has only played in 41 games over the last two seasons and hasn't averaged above 5.0 points per game. It is likely that Aminu makes San Antonio's roster, but his role will be marginal at best.

Aminu plans to exercise his $10.2 million player option on his contract for next season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aminu will stick with Chicago for the 2021-22 season after he arrived with Nikola Vucevic in the trade deadline deal. The 30-year-old forward appeared in just five games with the Bulls, averaging 1.4 points on 22.2 percent shooting and 2.8 rebounds per game.

Aminu (coach's decision) didn't play in the Bulls' win over the Raptors on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Aminu has appeared in just one game since being dealt to Chicago at the trading deadline. The forward posted two points and five rebounds in 12 minutes during the Bulls' loss to the Spurs on March 27. Before being acquired by Chicago, Aminu was averaging 5.5 points and 5.4 rebounds while making 14 starts with the Magic.

Aminu (not injury related) will be available for Saturday's game at San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was acquired from the Magic ahead of Thursday's trade deadline and is set to make his debut for the Bulls on Friday. Aminu missed the first two months of the season and averaged 5.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 21.6 minutes over 17 games after making his season debut Feb. 9.

The Bulls acquired Aminu and Nikola Vucevic from the Magic on Thursday in exchange for Wendell Carter, Otto Porter and two future first-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that he's missed most of the last two seasons due to knee issues and held modest averages of 5.5 points (on 40.4 percent shooting from the field) and 5.4 rebounds in 21.6 minutes per game over 17 appearances with Orlando, Aminu is likely just being included in the deal for salary-matching purposes. Aminu is eligible to become a free agent during the upcoming offseason, but he'll most likely exercise his $10.18 million option for 2021-22 to stick around in Chicago, if the team hasn't already cut or traded him beforehand. Though he had been handling a regular starting role for the Magic since making his season debut in early February, Aminu will likely transition to a lower-minute backup role at power forward behind Lauri Markkanen in Chicago.

Aminu scored 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 29 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Aminu caught fire in the second half of the game, going 6-for-6 from the field to pour in 13 points and post his best scoring night of the season. He's seen his playing time tick up slightly in the last two games, racking up 28 and 29 minutes, respectively. However, Aminu has has played at least 20 minutes in 12 consecutive games and has scored in double-digits only twice. While he lacks scoring punch, Aminu has produced decently elsewhere in the box score by averaging 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in that same span.
