On this day in Boston Celtics history, point guard John Bagley re-signed with the team in free agency. Bagley played his collegiate basketball at Boston College and was selected with the 12th overall of the 1982 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He would play for that club and the (then) New Jersey (now Brooklyn) Nets before the Nets would trade the Bridgeport native to the Celtics in 1989 for draft assets and cash. After his first campaign with the team, tendonitis and a subsequent surgery kept Bagley sidelined for the entire 1990-91 season, and his rehabilitation stretched beyond his contract into the following season.
The Celtics signed him in December of 1992 once he was ready to return to action.
