Also on this date in 2006, the Celtics signed guard Allan Ray as a free agent out of Villanova after he went undrafted in the 2006 NBA draft.

Ray, a native of the Bronx, New York, was first sent to a D League (as the G League was called in that era) assignment with the Austin Toros but was soon called up to play with the parent club.

The former Wildcat played 47 games for the Celtics, averaging 6.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game.
