By the numbers – ranking Boston’s players by jersey: No. 55

While no legendary Boston Celtics wore No. 55 over the years, plenty of players of note have, and these are the best of them.

No. 4 to wear No. 55: Acie Earl – 1994-95

The first of the 11 to wear No. 55 with some staying power, Earl was drafted 19th overall by the Celtics in the 1993 NBA Draft. The Iowa product played for Boston for two seasons before being stolen away by the Toronto Raptors in the 1995 expansion draft.

An offensive-minded deep rotation big, Earl logged 4-6 points and 2.8 boards while with Boston.
