On this day in Boston Celtics history, big man Greg Stiemsma made his debut for the team back in 2011. The University of Wisconsin – Madison alum was not picked up by any team in the 2008 NBA draft and would end up playing professionally overseas in Turkey and South Korea as well as at the G League level before signing with the Celtics in December of 2011 as an unrestricted free agent.
It would be several weeks before the former Badger saw any live game action, however, making his debut for the team on the 28th of that month.
His debut came in a 97-78 loss to the (then) New Orleans Hornets (now, Pelicans) on the road.
