Boston Celtics jersey history No. 27 - Bill Dinwiddie (1969-71)
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 fourth of 13 people to wear the No. 27, Boston forward alum Bill Dinwiddie. After ending his college career at New Mexico Highlands University, Dinwiddie (later known as Rashid K. Shabazz) would go unselected in the 1966 NBA Draft, instead signing with the (then) Cincinnati Royals (now, Sacramento Kings). The Muncie, Indiana native was dealt to Boston in 1969, playing for the team until 1971, when he was dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks. During his time suiting up for the Celtics. Dinwiddie wore only jersey No. 27 and put up 4.9 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Chad Kelly out again as Nick Arbuckle starts third straight for banged-up Argos
TORONTO - Chad Kelly will have plenty of company on the Toronto Argonauts sideline Friday night. Kelly will miss a third straight start when Toronto (0-2) hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2-0). The 2023 CFL outstanding player continues to recover from a leg injury suffered in last year's East Division final. Ditto for receiver/returner Janarion Grant (ankle), the 2024 CFL top special-teams player last season, who also has yet to play this year. Joining them among Toronto's walking wounded will be linebackers Wynton McManis (knee) and Jack Cassar (adductor), running back Deonta McMahon (ankle), receiver DaVaris Daniels (hip), defensive lineman Demarcus Christmas (Achilles) and offensive linemen Sage Doxtater (knee), Dylan Giffen (back) and Darius Ciraco (foot). On Thursday, Toronto re-signed Canadian fullback Brandon Calver, who spent the last four seasons with the club. He'll start on offence Friday and also play special teams. Still, it's hardly an ideal scenario for a Toronto team looking to avoid its first 0-3 start since 2019. 'Sometimes the injury bug hits you but we have no excuses,' said Toronto head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. 'It's next man up. 'It's professional sports ... you have to find a way to overcome it.' Saskatchewan receiver Sam Emilus (foot) won't play but Canadian running back Thomas Bertrand-Hudon returns to back up former Argo A.J. Ouellette. Sophomore receiver Joe Robustelli is also back and starts. Ka'Deem Carey won't face his former team. Carey, who ran for 1,060 yards last year in helping Toronto win the Grey Cup, joined Saskatchewan after being among the Argos final cuts but won't dress Friday. Jake Herslow starts at slotback for Toronto while Canadian Ryan Hunter, the CFL's top lineman last year, moves from right tackle to left guard. American Hampton Ergle starts at tackle. Rookie running back Miyan Williams makes his first CFL start with Toronto. The five-foot-eight, 237-pound former Ohio State Buckeye ran for 62 yards on nine carries in last week's 29-19 home loss to Calgary while adding nine catches for 65 yards after replacing McMahon. But when Williams entered last week's game, he was the last running back on Toronto's roster, which somewhat handcuffed Dinwiddie, who's also Toronto's offensive co-ordinator. Running back Kevin Brown was signed this week, which should give Dinwiddie more play-calling flexibility. 'He (Williams) showed his physicality breaking through some tackles and getting to the second level,' Dinwiddie said. 'I think he's used to the U.S. game where it's more downhill but you've got to be a bit more patient (in CFL) and set up some blocks and I think he's getting there.' Williams downplayed the notion that being thrust into last week's game was difficult for him. 'It's not hard if you mentally prepare yourself to just be ready for whatever happens,' he said. 'It (Friday night) is just another game I've got to prepare for so I don't treat it differently than any other.' Veteran Nick Arbuckle makes a third straight start for Toronto. While the '24 Grey Cup MVP has a 68.9 completion percentage and is third overall in passing yards (582), he has more interceptions (four) than TDs (two). 'Just manage the game,' Dinwiddie said regarding what he wants to see from Arbuckle on Friday. 'You don't have to be a superhero, just master the plan.' Toronto has committed five turnovers (tied for last overall) while having recorded a CFL-low one turnover. Isaac Darkangelo replaces McManis at middle linebacker while defensive lineman Anthony Lanier III faces his former team. Lanier III played four seasons with Saskatchewan before signing with Toronto after not being offered an extension by the Riders. Saskatchewan comes off a 28-23 road win over Hamilton last week. Veteran Trevor Harris was 26-of-37 passing for 294 yards with a TD and an interception while KeeSean Johnson had eight catches for 128 yards and a touchdown. Ouellette was also a factor, rushing for 96 yards and a TD on 13 carries. But veteran kicker Brett Lauther missed three of five field goals and a convert. Linebacker Jameer Thurman (CFL-high 17 defensive plays) anchors a Riders defence that also includes defensive back Rolan Milligan Jr., the 2024 CFL top defensive player who had an interception last week. 'Offensively, I think they've kind of got it going,' Dinwiddie said. 'They'll take some shots but at the same time they'll move downfield and Trevor does a really good job of managing the game. 'If you look at their defence, they're pretty darn good. They're going to make us earn it with completions and not give us any deep shots so we've got to make sure we're not in second-and-long. We've got to win first down.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 19, 2025. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha.

McManis, Argos look to get back on the winning track at home versus Stampeders
TORONTO - There's no place like home for Wynton McManis and the Toronto Argonauts. Toronto (0-1) hosts the Calgary Stampeders (1-0) on Saturday afternoon in its home opener. After the Argos began their Grey Cup title defence with a 28-10 road loss in Montreal last week, McManis welcomes the return to BMO Field, where the club is 16-2 the last two seasons. 'Just the love we get from Argos Nation, their energy, their passion,' McManis said in explaining Toronto's home-field record. 'We see them all the time at practice and when they show up at the game, you feel like they're stepping on to the field. 'I think that adds a little something to us and we always come with a little more juice.' Toronto has excelled at BMO Field under Ryan Dinwiddie, who's in his fifth season as head coach and has led the Argos to a 27-7 home mark. 'Obviously you want to do that for your fans and play exciting football for them,' Dinwiddie said. 'But if we win all of our home games there's a good chance we're going to make the playoffs. 'We still have to win on the road, that's an emphasis as well. But when we're at home I think guys are excited to go out there and play in front of our great fans.' However, Dinwiddie is 3-4 versus Calgary, the only CFL team he has a sub.-500 record against. Stamps head coach/GM Dave Dickenson boasts a 12-3 mark against Toronto. Toronto's defence struggled with the run against Montreal, allowing 163 yards on 26 carries (6.3-yard average). The rushing attack figured prominently in Calgary's season-opening 38-26 win over Hamilton last week as the Stamps had 158 yards on 31 attempts (5.1-yard average) with Dedrick Mills accounting for 94 yards and three touchdowns. 'It (stopping run) is always the most important thing, that's always your first goal,' said McManis, who had nine tackles against Montreal. 'Mills is a great back, he does a good job of reading and breaking a lot of tackles so we have to make sure we swarm to the ball and tackle with all 12 hats.' Then again, Calgary's offensive co-ordinator Pat DelMonaco is also its offensive-line coach. 'Pat is an O-line coach at heart so he wants to to play a physical brand of football,' Dinwiddie said. 'They're going to try to attack us downhill and we've got a good plan for it. 'Guys are aware of it and it all starts up front for us in this game.' Veteran Vernon Adams Jr. completed 19-of-28 passes for 284 yards last week in his Calgary debut. He was intercepted twice but did rush for 33 yards on three carries. Adams is 2-5 lifetime versus Toronto but has thrown 14 TD passes over that stretch. 'He's a dual-threat quarterback,' McManis said of Adams. 'He's an older guy now so there's not much he hasn't seen. 'Just kind of try to make him have to sit in the pocket and see if we can kind of confuse him and show him some things he hasn't seen before and get pressure on him and try to make him uncomfortable.' Veteran Nick Arbuckle will make a second straight start at quarterback for Toronto with incumbent Chad Kelly still being limited in practice. Kelly, 31, continues to recover from a leg injury suffered in last year's East Division final. Arbuckle, who was the MVP of Toronto's Grey Cup win over Winnipeg last year, completed 20-of-32 passes for 273 yards and a TD versus Montreal but also had two interceptions. 'Just sustain drives,' Dinwiddie said regarding what he'd like to see from his offence Saturday. 'We had some good plays and we'd get three first downs but then have to punt. 'We had our moments last week and we've got to build off those and make sure it's a complete game this week.' McManis agreed. 'There are some things we need to clean up,' he said. 'It's early in the year, we've got to fix some MAs (missed assignments) and clean up the penalties but it's not really anything you're too worried about. 'I feel like we're in a good spot mentally, I feel like everyone is prepared and wants to get things done the right way. Our effort and compassion is there for it.' Toronto hasn't started a season 0-2 since 2019. Calgary has dropped its last two games at BMO Field after winning eight straight road contests versus Toronto. The two teams split their games last year, each victorious at home. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 13, 2025. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
