Right this moment can also be the date that wing Oliver Lafayette debuted for the staff in 2010.
A product of Houston who went unselected within the 2007 NBA draft, the Baton Rouge native hung out within the NBA Improvement League (because the G League was recognized then) and overseas earlier than being signed by Boston in April of 2010.
He appeared in only one sport on this date towards the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 7 factors, 4 rebounds, and a pair of assists in 21 minutes of play within the 106 – 95 loss.
