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 first of four to wear the No. 77, wing alum Sasha Pavlovic. After starting his pro career abroad, Pavlovic was picked up with the 19th overall selection of the 2003 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz.
The Bar, Montenegro native played the first season of his pro career with Utah. He also played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Mavs again, and the (then) New Orleans Hornets (now, Pelicans) before he signed with Boston in 2011. His stay with the team lasted until he was dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2012.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Pavlovic wore only jersey No. 77 and 11 and put up 2.4 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.
