The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA – the league that would become today’s NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today’s article, we will continue with the second of four to wear the No. 77, big man alum Vincent Poirier. After starting his pro career abroad, Poirier went unselected in the 2015 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with Boston in 2019.
The Clamart, France native played the first season of his pro career with Boston, coming to an end when he was dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2020.
