On this day: Celtic John Bagley re-signs; most team rebounds vs Pistons

On this day in 1992, former Boston Celtic point guard John Bagley re-signed with the team in free agency. Bagley played his collegiate basketball at Boston College, and was drafted 12th overall in the 1982 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He would play for that club and the (then) New Jersey (now Brooklyn) Nets before the Nets would trade the Bridgeport native to the Celtics in 1989 for draft assets and cash. After his first campaign with the team, tendonitis and a subsequent surgery kept Bagley sidelined for the entire 1990-91 season, and his rehabilitation stretched beyond his contract into the following season.

The Celtics signed him in December of 1992 once he was ready to return to action, but he would only end up playing another 10 games for the franchise. The Connecticut native would log 5.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while with the Boston Celtics. https://twitter.com/CLNS_Nick/status/1009971736438366208?s=20

It was also on this date that the Celtics pulled down more rebounds than in any other game in their franchise's history -- and in one of their highest-scoring games as well. The feat came in a 150 - 106 obliteration of the Detroit Pistons in 1960, which saw Boston nab 109 boards in a single game.
