During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Delk wore only jersey Nos. 28 and 7 and put up 9.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the seventh of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston guard alum Tony Delk. After ending his college career at Kentucky, Delk was picked up with the 16th overall selection of the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets.
The Covington, Tennessee native also played for the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, and Phoenix Suns before he was dealt to Boston Celtics in 2002. His stay with the team would span parts of two seasons before he'd be dealt to the Dallas Mavericks in 2003.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Delk wore only jersey Nos. 28 and 7 and put up 9.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
