On this day: Hayward, Wilcox sign; Mickey waived; Red stays

On this day, the Boston Celtics signed Gordon Hayward and Chris Wilcox, waived Jordan Mickey, and didn’t lose Red Auerbach to the New York Knicks.

It is also the anniversary of former Celtic big man Chris Wilcox signing with the team in 2012.

Wilcox, a product of Maryland, had last played for the Detroit Pistons before signing on to reinforce Boston’s aging frontcourt in the latter days of the Banner 17 crew, and played for 89 games over two seasons with the franchise.

The Raleigh, North Carolina native logged 4.6 points and 3.3 boards in his time in green and white.
