During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Kimball wore only jersey No. 26 and put up 2.6 points, and 3.8 rebounds 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 first of 10 people to wear the No. 26, Boston forward alum Toby Kimball. After ending his college career at UConn, Kimball was picked up with the 29th overall selection of the 1965 NBA draft by the Celtics.
The Framingham, Massachusetts native would play the first season of his NBA career with Boston, coming to an end when he was was picked up by the (then) San Diego (now, Houston) Rockets in the 1967 NBA expansion draft.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Kimball wore only jersey No. 26 and put up 2.6 points, and 3.8 rebounds per game.
