Today in Boston Celtics history, in 1987, the team signed center Mark Acres. Originally drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 1985 out of Oral Roberts University, where he played under his father, Acres spent two seasons playing in Europe before joining the Celtics as a free agent.
Acres had a middling career with the team as a reserve over two seasons, putting up 3 points, as many rebounds, and 0.4 assists per game while in green and white. Acres would leave the team after being selected by one of two new NBA teams -- the Orlando Magic -- in the 1989 expansion draft held to populate the Magic's and Minnesota Timberwolves' rosters as they joined the league that season.
He was the sole Celtics player taken by either team in that draft.
