On this day in 1995 in Boston Celtics history, the storied ball club signed veteran guard Dana Barros as an unrestricted free agent. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, Barros played for his hometown Boston College before being picked up in the 1989 NBA draft by the Seattle Supersonics, for whom he would play four seasons.
Barros was later traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 1993, but the Boston native barely had time to get a cup of coffee with his new team, which dealt him yet again to the Philadelphia 76ers a mere two days later in what would prove to be a more stable landing spot.
The Massachusetts native played two seasons for the Sixers — making the All-Star team in 1995 — before he left the team in free agency for his hometown club.
