On this day in Boston Celtics history, point guard Dana Barros signed with the team in 2004 as an unrestricted free agent in what would be the last, very brief stop of a 14-season career. It would be Barros’ second stint with the Celtics, having previously played five seasons for Boston between 1995 and 2000.

A product of Boston College, Barros was a local guy who was born in Boston in 1967. Drafted with the 16th overall pick of the 1989 NBA draft by the Seattle Supersonics, Barros would play for that team and the Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Celtics in 1995 and would be dealt to the Dallas Mavericks in a massive, four-team deal in 2000.

He would be dealt yet again to the Detroit Pistons two months later.

Dana Barros signed a deal as a player after being out of the league for nearly two seasons, having worked as an assistant for the Celtics before inking the deal as a player.

Barros would play one more game as a Celtic before retiring. He averaged 10.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while a Celtic.

It is the birthday of ex-Boston big man Frank Brickowski, born this day in 1959 in Bayville, New York.
