Chris Boucher has officially signed with the Boston Celtics, marking a significant change for the Toronto Raptors, as he was their longest-tenured player. After winning a title with the Golden State Warriors in 2018, Boucher brought his skills to Toronto from 2018 to 2025, contributing to their 2019 championship victory. His career-best season came in 2020-21, boasting averages of 13.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. With Boucher's departure, Scottie Barnes has now taken over as the longest-tenured Raptor.

Boucher's move to the Celtics, who are in need of depth and experience, is seen as a strategic addition. His versatility and shooting will be essential for a team looking to contend in a competitive Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Raptors will need to adapt to his absence as they continue to rebuild around key players like Barnes, who has already made a name for himself as a former Rookie of the Year and recent All-Star.
