Invited to training camp but left on October 4th, 1981 to finish his college career. Played his NBA rookie season with the Cavaliers in 1982, and officially joined the Celtics in 1989 and remained with the team through 1993.
During the era, Sand Knit was the official supplier of the Boston Celtics regular season game worn
jerseys. Manufactured by Wilson (size 44), this mesh body shell jersey bears the 1979-86 version of the Wilson tag and supports the dating. Other Wilson physical characteristics which differentiate this from Sand Knit products include the round tail (straight tail for Sand Knit) and the different style of player’s name font and numbering.
Final Grade MEARS A10. Jersey shows heavy game wear, with puckering to the numerals, lettering, and tagging.
Jersey originated from the personal collection of Ed Borash, a Boston area printer that supplied the
team. Mr. Borash maintained several long term relationships with many Celtics and NBA players, and
this item was gifted to him by the Boston Celtics.
