On this day in 1961, former Boston Celtics point guard Carl Braun signed with the team in free agency after being waived by the New York Knicks.
The last stop in a 13-season career interrupted for two years by military service, Braun would win a championship with the Celtics in a reserve role.
He averaged 3.7 points, a rebound and 1.5 assists in his sole season with Boston, and would be elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2019.
