On this day: Gordon Hayward agrees to sign; Griffin, Lucas born

On this day, Boston Celtics All-Star forward Gordon Hayward agreed to sign with the team after his agent initially denied he planned to do so.

It is also the birthday of former Celtic wing Adrian Griffin, born this day in 1974 in Wichita, Kansas.

Signed by Boston as a free agent in 1999 after going undrafted in the 1996 after an NCAA career with Seton Hall. He would play two seasons with the Celtics, averaging 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1.8 assists with the team.
