OKC Thunder jersey history No. 33 - Gordon Hayward (2024)
The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) shoots over Oklahoma City Thunder forward Gordon Hayward (33) during the second half of their game Sunday, March 24, 2024 at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-93. And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder's history today.

The 17th of those players did so in the Oklahoma City Thunder era, forward alum Gordon Hayward. After ending his college career at Butler, Hayward was picked up with the ninth overall selection of the 2010 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz. The Indianapolis, Indiana native would play the first seven seasons of his pro career with the Jazz, and also played for the Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets before he was dealt to OKC for his last season in the NBA in 2024.
