Celtics to retire Pierce's No. 34 on Feb. 11 vs. Cavs

The Boston Celtics will retire Paul Pierce's No. 34 on Feb. 11, 2018 against the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden, the team announced Friday.

Pierce will be the 22nd player to have his number retired by the Celtics, and the first since Cedric Maxwell in 2003.

The 39-year-old ranks as the franchise's all-time leader in free throws, three-point field goals, and steals, and is second in points, offensive wins shares, and VORP (value over replacement player). He also led Boston to the team's only championship since 1986, taking home Finals MVP honors following the Celtics' title-winning victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Pierce officially retired from the NBA last month after signing a one-day contract with Boston.
