On this day in Boston Celtics history, reserve guard Eddie House signed a multi-year deal with the team. The Berkeley, California native had previously played for the Miami Heat (he was drafted by that team out of Arizona State with the 37th pick of the 2000 NBA draft), Los Angeles Clippers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, the Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns, and (the then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets before joining Boston in true journeyman fashion.
House would become a key part of the Celtics’ 2008 title team’s bench offense, providing microwave scoring off the bench that would end up proving critical to winning Banner 17.
