Boston Celtics jersey history No. 28 - RJ Hunter (2015-19)
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 11th of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston guard alum RJ Hunter. After ending his college career at Georgia State, Hunter was picked up with the 28th overall selection of the 2015 NBA Draft by the Celtics. The Oxford, Ohio native played just 36 games before he was cut by the team to end his first stint with Boston, separated by another with the Chicago Bulls and one with Houston Rockets before signing with Boston for the final game of his NBA career as a player. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Hunter wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 3.1 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Celtics linked to $97 million Nets big man Nic Claxton amid roster reshuffle
Celtics linked to $97 million Nets big man Nic Claxton amid roster reshuffle originally appeared on The Sporting News The Boston Celtics continue to retool their roster following Jayson Tatum's torn Achilles in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Facing looming financial constraints and a potential gap year, the team sent Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons — though Simons may still be rerouted on his expiring contract. Boston also dealt Kristaps Porzingis for Georges Niang, who was later sent to the Utah Jazz. Additionally, the Celtics lost Luke Kornet and are widely expected to lose Al Horford in free agency. With Chris Boucher, Neemias Queta and Luka Garza as their primary options at center, Boston is likely to pursue further frontcourt upgrades. MORE: NBA writer offers trade update on Celtics' $45 million sharpshooter Sam Hauser Brandon Austin of Pro Football & Sports Network labeled Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton as a trade candidate, suggesting he could be on the move in Brooklyn's rebuilding effort. 'The Brooklyn Nets are clearly in rebuilding mode, evidenced by a disappointing 26-26 finish last season,' he wrote. 'Despite being a key defensive anchor, Nic Claxton could eventually find himself outside the team's long-term rebuild strategy, which prioritizes draft capital.' Given Boston's urgent need for frontcourt help, Claxton could be a strong fit. The Celtics already have offensive weapons and don't require a high-scoring center. The 26-year-old is also under contract through the 2027-28 season, and he'd provide stability if the team is forced to navigate the 2025-26 campaign without Tatum. Claxton averaged 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks across 26.9 minutes per game in 70 regular-season appearances in the 2024-25 campaign. His defensive presence and athleticism would be an intriguing addition for Boston amid its roster reshuffle.
