The Celtics traded Kemba Walker to the Oklahoma City Thunder last month in order to bring back longtime Celtics big man Al Horford, creating a need at point guard while filling Thompson’s role in the frontcourt.

Dunn, 27, was signed by Atlanta last offseason to help shore up their perimeter defense however only appeared in four games after undergoing ankle surgery early last season.
