Boston Celtics big men Al Horford, Moses Brown select jersey numbers for 2021-22

The two bigs have settled on the number they’ll rep for the coming season.

New Boston Celtics big men Al Horford and Moses Brown have chosen their jersey numbers for the 2020-21 NBA season per Celtics journalist emeritus Steve Bulpett — formerly of the Boston Herald.

No easy task given the storied history of the franchise — possessing enough retired jerseys to make for its own contentious topic — the choice was an easy one for Horford, who decided to don his former No. 42 worn in his first stint with the team. For Brown, in his first run with the Celtics, the number he decided to wear this coming season is No. 9.

Last worn by Brad Wanamaker and perhaps most famously by Rajan Rondo, Boston’s newest big man will up his own stamp on the jersey.

The frontcourt duo, traded to the Celtics from the Oklahoma City Thunder at the start of Boston’s offseason, aptly mixed a bit of old and new in their representation of the team given their history with the franchise.
