Heinsohn was 86
The Celtics will honor Tommy Heinsohn during Wednesday’s season opener at TD Garden in more ways than one.
Boston will pay tribute to the late Celtics legend, who died in November, with a black patch on each jersey with the word “TOMMY” etched across the front.
The team also lowered eight of its 17 championship banners that boast a “special significance” toward Heinsohn’s six-decade legacy with Boston.
