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 28th of 31 people to wear the No. 20 jersey, Boston forward alum Gordon Hayward. After ending his college career at Butler, Hayward was picked up with the ninth overall selection of the 2010 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz.
The Indianapolis, Indiana native would play the first seven seasons of his pro career with Utah, coming to an end when he signed with Boston in 2017. His stay with the team would span three seasons, ending when he signed with the Charlotte Hornets in 2020.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Hayward wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game.
