Boston Celtics jersey history No. 13 - Dontae' Jones (1997-98)

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 10th of 25 people to wear the No. 13 jersey, Boston forward alum Dontae' Jones. After ending his college career at Mississippi State, Jones was picked up with the 21st overall selection of the 1996 NBA draft by the New York Knicks.

An injury would keep him sidelined for his first season in the league, during which he was dealt to Boston for his sole campaign at the NBA level.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Jones wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 2.9 points per game.
