Boston Celtics jersey history No. 13 - Damon Jones (1999)
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 11th of 25 people to wear the No. 13 jersey, Boston guard alum Damon Jones. After ending his college career at Houston, Jones would go unselected in the 1997 NBA draft, instead playing in other domestic leagues until he signed with the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets in 1999.
He'd next sign with Boston later that season after being cut by the Nets, his stay lasting until he signed with the Golden State Warriors at the start of the next season.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Jones wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 5.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.
