On this day: Tyler Zeller waived; Curtis Rowe, Rich Niemann born

On this day, the Celtics waived center Tyler Zeller; it is also big men Curtis Rowe and Rich Niemann’s birthday.

It is also the birthday of former Celtic center Rich Niemann, who played just six games for the team in the 1969-70 season, claimed off waivers by the team.

He would record 1 point and as many boards per game over that short run, moving on to several stints in the American Basketball Association (ABA) afterward.
