By the numbers – ranking Boston’s players by jersey: No. 99

Who are the best Boston Celtics to wear each jersey number? As we wait for the 2019-20 NBA season to resume, the Celtics Wire investigates.

Darko Miličić – 2012-13

Once a heralded prospect, by the time Miličić got to Boston, his career was essentially over.

There was hope the recently-amnestied Serbian center would be able to help absorb regular-season minutes for an aging Kevin Garnett, who was himself lurchingslowly towards retirement.

But after just five minutes of play for the Celtics in a single game, Miličić was released by the team to attend to an undisclosed personal matter. He “averaged” a single rebound in his sole appearance for the franchise, and would later go on to have a career as a mixed martial artist.

Through no fault of his own, Miličić is the worst to wear No. 99.
