BJ Boston headed to Los Angeles Clippers with 51st overall pick

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Kentucky’s Brandon Boston had to wait longer than expected to hear his name called in the NBA Draft on Thursday.

Boston was selected 51st overall by the Memphis Grizzlies, before being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Worth the wait.

With the 51st pick in the 2021 @NBADraft, @bboston_ has been selected by the @memgrizz.

His rights are proposed in a trade to the @PelicansNBA, which will then be traded to the @LAClippers.
