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.

Finally, today is also the day former Boston forward Jordan Mickey was waived by the Celtics in 2017, in order to make room for the Hayward signing. Mickey, a product of LSU, had been drafted by the team 33rd overall in the 2015 NBA Draft.

A native of Dallas Texas, the former Tiger had put up 1.4 points and 1.1 rebounds per contest while with the franchise, and has since moved on to a stint with the Miami Heat and a successful overseas career.
