It was also on this date in 1983 that the Celtics waived point guard Nate “Tiny” Archibald.
Archibald had come to the team as part of a seven-player deal with the Buffalo Braves made when the franchise owners traded ownership of each other’s teams in 1978, and won a ring with the Celtics in 1981.
Archibald played five seasons with Boston, averaging 12.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 7.1 assists over that stretch.
