On this day, former Celtics forward Reggie Lewis died unexpectedly while working out due to a heart arrhythmia.

Finally, ex-Celtic forward Marvin Barnes was born this day in 1952 in Providence, Rhode Island.

Traded to the team from the Buffalo Braves as part of the exchange of players occuring after the team’s owners also exchanged franchises in 1978, he would play just 38 games for Boston before being waived the following February.

He averaged 8.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game as a Celtic.
