Wednesday night marked the start of chapter nine of Chris Boucher's NBA career. It's a journey that has taken him from undrafted to a two-time champion.

The six-foot-eight forward registered six points, four rebounds, and a steal in 16 minutes off the bench in the Boston Celtics' 117-116 opening night loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

The game also represented a reunion of sorts between Boucher and his former head coach with the Toronto Raptors, Nick Nurse.
