See the full story · 1 sourcesToday in Boston Celtics history, J.R. Bremer, along with Bruno Sundov and additional draft assets, were traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Jumaine Jones. The Cleveland Heights, Ohio native signed with the Celtics as a 6-foot-2, 185-pound free agent wing in the summer of 2002 after going undrafted in that year’s NBA draft following his tenure at St. Bonaventure University.
Despite not attracting significant draft interest as a prospect, Bremer earned himself a spot on the All-Rookie Second Team during his inaugural season in the NBA, which significantly boosted his potential value as a trade asset for Boston.
Bremer averaged 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game in his time with the Celtics.
Birthdays
It is the birthday of Scott Wedman (born in 1952), who came to the team in a trade with the Cavaliers for center Darren Tillis and draft assets in 1983. The Harper, Kansas native would play five seasons for the Celtics, with whom he won two championships in 1984 and 1986. In 1987, Wedman was dealt with Sam Vincent to the Seattle SuperSonics for draft assets and retired afterward. He averaged 6.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, and an assist per game in his time with the team.
Terry Duerod shares his birthday, born in Royal Oak, Michigan in 1956. Duerod joined the Celtics in free agency in December 1980 and played 53 games over two seasons before being waived by the team. The Detroit Mercy alum logged 2.8 points per game while wearing green and white.
Sidney “Sonny” Hertzberg shares the birthday with them as well, born in 1922 in Brooklyn, New York. Spanning Boston's days in the Basketball Association of America (BAA – a predecessor league of the NBA) into their first season in what became the NBA, Hertzberg played two seasons with Boston. Traded to the team from the Washington Capitals for center Chick Halbert, Hertzberg put up 9.4 points and 1.8 assists per game as a Celtic.
