On this day: Bradley debuts; Ford makes 1st 4-point play; Naulls passes

On this day, Avery Bradley debuted for the team, Chris Ford made the first 3-point play in team history, and Willie Naulls left us.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, guard Avery Bradley played his first game for the storied franchise in 2010. An alum of the University of Texas, the Tacoma, Washington native would be picked up by the Celtics with the 19th overall in the 2010 NBA draft.

The 6-foot-3 combo guard would play his inaugural minutes for the team in a 99-76 blowout of the Atlanta Hawks in the Celtics’ 14th game of the season, the Washingtonian scoring 2 points, a rebound, an assist, and a steal to go with 2 turnovers in his first game as a Celtic.

Bradley managed that over 6 minutes and 11 seconds of playing time, missing both his field-goal attempts but converting both of his two attempts from the free-throw line.
