The Celtics' focus is on getting below the second apron. If they have an opportunity to move Simons in a deal that would allow them to get closer to that goal, it's expected for them to do so. However, according to a recent report on an NBA live stream on Bleacher Report from Jake Fischer, the Celtics aren't openly shopping him.

The Boston Celtics recently made important roster changes. On July 7, 2025, the Celtics traded Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Anfernee Simons. However, Simons’s future with the Celtics remains uncertain.
