The 1995–96 NBA season was the 50th season for the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association.[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 the previous season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Early into the season, they traded Sherman Douglas to the Milwaukee Bucks for Todd Day and Alton Lister as they played around .500 with a 12–12 start. However, the magic was clearly gone for the Celtics as they lost 15 of their next 18 games, finishing fifth in the Atlantic Division with a 33–49 record. Dino Radja led the team in scoring with 19.7 points per game, but was out for the remainder of the season with an ankle injury after 53 games. Following the season, second-year center Eric Montross was traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
