Hall of Famer Sam Jones, who won 10 titles during the Boston Celtics' dynasty in the 1950s and 1960s, died Thursday, the team announced. He was 88.
Jones was in failing health and had been hospitalized in Florida, team spokesman Jeff Twiss said, via the Associated Press. The Celtics held a moment of silence for Jones before their Friday matinee against the Phoenix Suns.
