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 26th of 31 people to wear the No. 20 jersey, Boston forward alum Jabari Parker. After ending his college career at Duke, Parker was picked up with the second overall selection of the 2014 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Chicago, Illinois native would play the first four seasons of his pro career with the Bucks. He would also have stints with the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks, and Sacramento Kings before signing with Boston for the final two seasons of his NBA career.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Parker wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 5.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.
