Boston Celtics jersey history No. 26 - Lester Hudson (2009-10)
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 sixth of 10 people to wear the No. 26, Boston guard alum Lester Hudson. After ending his college career at University of Tennessee at Martin, Hudson was picked up with the 58th overall selection of the 2009 NBA draft by the Celtics.
The Memphis, Tennessee native would play just 16 games with Boston before he would be cut in 2010.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Hudson wore only jersey No. 26 and put up 2.3 points per game.
