It was also on this date in 2013 that Brazilian big man Vitor Faverani was signed by the Celtics for a three-year deal.

The Puerto Alegre native only played one season for the team, spending much time with the (then) Maine Red Claws (now, Celtics), and would be waived after a knee injury sidelined him for all of the subsequent season.

Faverani averaged 4.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in his time with Boston.
