The 1995–96 Boston Celtics season was the 50th season of the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] A new era began for the Celtics as they moved into a state of the art new arena known as the Fleet Center. The team hired M.L. Carr as head coach and signed free agent Dana Barros, who won the Most Improved Player award last season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Early into the season, they traded Sherman Douglas to the Milwaukee Bucks for Todd Day and Alton Lister. However, the magic was clearly gone for the Celtics as they finished fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 33–49 record. Dino Radja led the team in scoring averaging 19.7 points per game. Following the season, Eric Montross was traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
