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 24th of 25 people to wear the No. 13 jersey, Boston guard alum Malcolm Brogdon. After ending his college career at Virginia, Brogdon was picked up with the 36th overall selection of the 2016 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Atlanta, Georgia native would play the first 3 seasons of his pro career with the Bucks, followed by a 3-season stint with the Indiana Pacers. That ended when he was dealt to Boston in 2022, playing for the team for just one season before he'd be on the move again, this time to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Brogdon wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game.
