Celtics' Brief Stops: Damon Jones & Oliver Lafayette

0:00On April 14th, on this date in Celtic's history, back in 1999, the team brought in guard Damon Jones on his first 10-day contract as a bake. Late push, even though playoffs were out of reach, Jones, a sharp shooter from the University of Houston who went undrafted, played just 13 games for Boston, putting up 5.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game while hitting 45.5% from deep. He bounced around as a journeyman early on, with Boston as his second stop out of 10 in his career. Though his overall field goal marks that at, 38.7% when 3s weren't the hot ticket yet. Fast forward to 2010, and wing Oliver Lafayette made his only Celtic's appearance against the Bucks, dropping 7 points, 4 boards, and 2 assists in 21 minutes during a tough 95-106 loss. His quick stints remind us how the Celtics roster always churns with fresh talent hunting for that breakout moment. You've been listening to Boston Celtics News today, AI-powered team coverage.
