During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Nader wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 3.0 points and 1.5 assists 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 12th of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston forward alum Abdel Nader. After ending his college career at Iowa State, Nader was picked up with the 58th overall selection of the 2016 NBA Draft by the Celtics.
His stay with the team would span a single season, the Alexandria, Egypt native getting dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2018.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Nader wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 3.0 points and 1.5 assists per game.
