On November 10, several notable events in Boston Celtics history are remembered. In 1976, center Dave Cowens began a leave of absence from the team, a move that surprised the franchise during his prime years. On the same date, former Celtics center Kendrick Perkins was born in 1984, and two-sport athlete Gene Conley, who played for Boston in the early 1960s, was born in 1930. Additionally, actor and former Celtics player Chuck Connors, who briefly appeared for the team in 1946, passed away on this day in 1992.
