In five years with the Celtics, Allen won an NBA Title and nearly won a second. In 46 games for Boston last season, Allen averaged 14.2 points per game on 46-percent shooting from the field and a career-high 45-percent from three-point range.

The Heat are Allen’s fourth team in his NBA career. He played for Milwaukee and Seattle before landing in Boston in the summer of 2007.
