Boston Celtics jersey history No. 27 - Jordan Crawford (2013-14)
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 11th of 13 people to wear the No. 27, Boston guard alum Jordan Crawford. After ending his college career at Xavier, Crawford was picked up with the 27th overall selection of the 2010 NBA Draft by the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets.
The Detroit, Michigan native would play part of the first season of his pro career with the Atlanta Hawks after a draft night deal. He also played for the Washington Wizards before being dealt to Boston in 2013. His stay with the team would span just 27 games before he'd be dealt again, this time to the Golden State Warriors in 2014.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Crawford wore only jersey No. 27 and put up 9.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.

Lakers star Luka Dončić on offseason workouts, conditioning: 'My whole body looks better'
You can't criticize Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Dončić for much. After being the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2018, Dončić won the Rookie of the Year award. He then proceeded to make the first team All-NBA team in five of his first seven seasons. But despite that excellence, Dončić has never received high marks for his conditioning. He's been criticized for coming into the season out of shape and not taking care of his body in the same manner as other NBA superstars. Those concerns seem to be a thing of the past. After weeks of rumors about Dončić's offseason workouts and conditioning, the 26-year-old finally spoke about the work he's put in, saying, "My whole body looks better." Dončić has adopted a gluten-free, low sugar diet, taken part in intermittent fasting and engaged in two-a-day workouts while training in Croatia for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season, per Men's Health. It's all an attempt for Dončić to return to the court in better shape than ever. While conditioning issues have followed Dončić throughout his career, last year was different. He battled a calf injury which limited him to just 50 games. A midseason trade to the Lakers also shook things up for the superstar. Following the Lakers' early playoff exit to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Dončić wanted to get to work immediately, per Men's Health. One day after that loss, Dončić texted Seager to start his offseason training program ASAP. 'So every summer I try my best to work on different things," he says. "Obviously, I'm very competitive. This summer was just a little bit different, you know. It kind of motivated me to be even better.' His team put him through weight training and pushed him into other sports as a way to allow Dončić to rest his basketball muscles. Dončić was told he could not pick up a basketball during the first month, something he initially pushed back on. That month ended quickly, and Dončić was able to get back on the court. While he didn't make any specific comments about his weight or weight loss, Dončić implied that he feels lighter. When asked about the 42-inch vertical leap he showed off at the 2018 NBA Scouting Combine, Dončić said he believes he could exceed that number now, per Men's Health. 'This year, we didn't measure the jumping yet,' he says. 'But I think it's a little bit higher.' It's tough to imagine Dončić getting much better on the court. Few players in NBA history have matched his statistical excellence, though he's yet to win a championship. Following the Lakers' early playoff exit, head coach JJ Redick made waves after suggesting the team needed to "get in championship shape" if it hoped to win a title. Many viewed that as a shot at Dončić' and his conditioning. Whether or not the remark was intended for Dončić, he heard it loud and clear. It certainly sounds like Dončić will report to Lakers camp in the best shape of his life. It also sounds like this will be the new normal for Dončić going forward, as he told Men's Health this was "just the start." That's a scary thought for opposing defenders. Dončić was already an MVP candidate prior to his intense offseason workouts. If he can push himself to finally win the award, that could be just the thing the Lakers need to take home yet another championship.

But the man who led them into the 2024 NBA Finals is now on a Western Conference rival, and he's looking Herculean. Yeah, that trade may indeed age very, very badly.

Ex-NBA player Marcus Morris arrested on felony fraud charge
Former NBA player Marcus Morris was arrested on Sunday on a fraud charge, according to online arrest records in Florida. He was arrested at an airport and was hit with a fraud – writing a check with insufficient funds – charge. The Broward County arrest record showed that the case was related to an issue in another state, and he was being held in jail without bond. Markieff Morris, Marcus' twin brother who also played in the NBA, wrote about the situation in a post on social media. "The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they'll embarrass you in the airport with your family," Markieff Morris wrote on X later Sunday. "They got y'all really thinking bro did some fraud s---. They could have came to the crib for all that. "When y'all hear the real story on this s--- man. All I can say is Lesson learned. Bro will tell y'all tomorrow. This weird s--- gave me a headache. Can't stop nothin!" It's not Marcus Morris' first time in trouble with the law. He entered a diversion program in 2012 after he was charged with battery over an incident in Kansas. He and Markieff were also charged with aggravated assault over an incident in 2015. The brothers were found not guilty. Marcus Morris was a first-round draft pick in 2011, starting his career with the Houston Rockets. He was in Houston for one full season before he was traded to the Phoenix Suns in the middle of the 2012-13 season. He also played with the Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers and finally the Cleveland Cavaliers. He stepped away from the NBA after the 2023-24 season.
