Jabari Parker has agreed to a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics.

Parker gives the Celtics added depth in the frontcourt. 

Parker was waived by the Sacramento Kings last month after appearing in just three games.

The Utah Jazz have diagnosed Donovan Mitchell with a lower right ankle sprain and there's early optimism the injury is not a major one.

Mitchell landed awkwardly and had to be helped into the locker room by teammates. 

James Harden continues to make progress on his injured hamstring and hopefully won't be out "too much longer," according to Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks.

"Hopefully if things go smoothly, he'll be out and joining the guys in a game. He's met his markers up to this point, and we'll just continue to progress him along, and hopefully it's not too much longer," said Marks.

Marks did not have an exact timetable for Harden's return.

Harden has missed the last ten games with the injury.

Damian Jones has signed a second 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings.

The New Orleans Pelicans discussed Lonzo Ball with several teams before the trade deadline with the Los Angeles Clippers, Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks among the teams showing interest, sources tell ESPN.

Some executives came away from those talks with the impression that Ball might be made available in a sign-and-trade in the offseason as a restricted free agent.

The Pelicans, however, had indeed expressed interest in keeping Ball. 

Ball is averaging 14.5 points and 38.4% from 3 on 8.1 attempts per game, all career highs.

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed DeMarcus Cousins to a second 10-day contract.

Cousins has appeared in three games with the Clippers, averaging 6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game.

Cousins began the 20-21 season with the Houston Rockets and was waived in February. 

Dwyane Wade has purchased an ownership stake in the Utah Jazz and plans to take an active role in the franchise and region.

Wade is the latest of several Hall of Fame-level players with NBA ownership stakes, including Grant Hill (Atlanta Hawks), Shaquille O'Neal (Sacramento Kings) and Charlotte Hornets majority owner Michael Jordan. Magic Johnson previously had a 4% stake in the Los Angeles Lakers.

"This goes way beyond the dream I had to just play basketball in the NBA," Wade told ESPN. "I've seen Shaq do it in Sacramento. I've seen Grant Hill do it in Atlanta. I've seen Jordan do it in Charlotte. If this partnership is going to be anything like my relationship is with Ryan, there are going to be a lot of things that I'll want to be involved in. ...

"Unfortunately, people in my community don't get this opportunity, and I do not take it lightly to have this opportunity. To make real change, this is where you have to be -- at the top -- and Ryan knows that. I'm thankful for him, and I know too that I bring a lot to this partnership outside of just my basketball knowledge and skills."

Wade met Smith at a golf course in 2019 and they soon became friends. 

The NBA has a bylaw that ownership stakes can be no less than 1% of the team, but Wade's financial investment in the franchise is not immediately clear.

Micky Arison on Twitter expressed disappointment that Wade didn't reconsider a stake in the Miami franchise after previous negotiations.
