During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Kabengele wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 1.5 points, and 2.5 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 14th of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston big man alum Mfiondu Kabengele. After ending his college career at Florida State, Kabengele was picked up with the 27th overall selection of the 2019 NBA Draft by the Brooklyn Nets.
The Toronto, Ontario native played parts of the first two seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers instead after a draft night deal. He also played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and in the G League before signing with Boston in 2022. His stay with the team would span a single season, coming to an end when he signed overseas.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Kabengele wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 1.5 points, and 2.5 rebounds per game.
