According to the Boston Celtics team site, P.J. Dozier has switched from jersey #50 to #35.

#35 has been retired by Boston for the late Reggie Lewis. Dozier is Lewis' cousins and previously wore #35 with Oklahoma City Thunder to honor Lewis.

Nice.

Dozier looks good every time I have seen him.

Was really confused till I read the last sentence. I'd like to think that the C's have consulted Reggie Lewis' immediate family before doing this (especially his parents assuming they are still alive). If they gave their approval, then I suppose it's a nice way for the C's to honor Lewis. At the very least, I expect #35 to return to the rafters as soon as Dozier stops playing for the C's.
