Larry Foust 1959 Minneapolis Lakers Home Jersey

A 6'9" center from La Salle University, Foust was selected by the Chicago Stags in the 1950 NBA draft, but the Stags franchise folded before the start of the 1950-51 NBA season, and Foust joined the Fort Wayne Pistons. On November 22, 1950, Foust scored the winning basket in a 19-18 Pistons victory over the Minneapolis Lakers, the lowest scoring game in NBA history. Foust later joined the Lakers in 1957. Before retiring in 1962 Foust tallied 11,198 career points and 8,041 career rebounds. Dating from the 1959 season, this Minneapolis Lakers home jersey was worn by Foust. On the bottom front of the jersey is the size tag "48" and next to this is the "Wilson" label. Across the front of the Jersey is the name “Lakers" in blue tackle twill letters. The number "14" appears on both the front and back of the jersey and is also made of blue tackle twill. Attached is a UPI wire photo of Foust wearing the jersey. The jersey shows substantial game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. LOAs from MEARS (A10) and Grey Flannel.
