Every Boston Celtics jersey in team history worn by ONLY one player

This is every player in Celtics history who was the only player to wear their jersey number.

The Boston Celtics have more retired jerseys than any other team in the NBA does, and given that knowledge, it might surprise you that they have plenty of jerseys only worn by one player in the entire 75-year history of the team.

Of course, a few of them are among those retired jerseys, but quite a few of them are not. As we draw near to the end of the 2023 offseason series of every jersey ever worn by a Boston Celtics player in the regular season, we would of course be remiss if we skipped out on these loners.

Let’s take a look at those most unique of Celtics jerseys throughout the years.

Ex-Celtic Jonathan Gibson taking Jeremy Lin’s spot with Beijing Ducks

Former Boston Celtic reserve guard Jonathan Gibson has inked a deal with the Beijing Ducks in the CBA, replacing ex-NBAer Jeremy Lin.

Former Boston Celtics reserve point guard Jonathan Gibson has signed a deal with the Beijing Ducks of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) according to Yahoo Sports’ Keith Smith.

Gibson, a product of New Mexico State who went undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft, first linked up with the Celtics in 2012 as a member of their Summer League team, and would later join the team on an end-of-season deal in April of 2018.

He’d return again the following season to help fill out a banged-up regular-season roster, but did not take the floor for the team in his second stint.

The West Covina, California native has since played for several CBA clubs and the Windy City Bulls (the developmental affiliate of the Chicago Bulls in the G League), and will now take the place of former NBAer Jeremy Lin, who is looking to make a comeback in the NBA this coming season, according to SI’s Sam Amico.
