OKC Thunder jersey history No. 34 - Kenrich Williams (2020-25)
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. 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. For this article, we continue with the 34th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 34, with 17 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise. The 16th of those players did so in the Oklahoma City Thunder era, forward alum Kenrich Williams. After ending his college career at TCU, Williams would go unselected in the 2018 NBA Draft, instead signing with the New Orleans Pelicans. In 2020, he would be dealt to the Thunder, and remains with the team at the time of writing. During his time suiting up for the Thunder, Williams wore only jersey No. 34 and put up 6.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Ex-Steeler Minkah Fitzpatrick gets new jersey number ahead of Dolphins training camp
The more things change, the more they stay the same — and that's especially true for ex-Steelers FS Minkah Fitzpatrick's new jersey number with the Miami Dolphins. On Tuesday, the Dolphins took to social media to reveal what number Fitzpatrick and several other new players will wear — and the former Steeler will return to wearing No. 29 in 2025. Fitzpatrick wore No. 29 at Alabama and continued the trend after being drafted by the Dolphins in 2018 — before being traded to the Steelers just two games into his second season in the league. Pittsburgh's former safety was part of a blockbuster deal that saw the Steelers trade him and a late-round pick swap in exchange for All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey and Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith — two talented playmakers expected to play versatile roles this season.

Bradley Beal's unexpected gift to Chris Paul: A number with meaning
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Paul will be wearing his No. 3 jersey in his return to the Los Angeles Clippers. Newly acquired Bradley Beal has agreed to give Paul the number that Beal has worn his entire NBA career, according to Lawrence Frank, president of basketball operations. Advertisement 'Once Brad heard it's a possibility Chris was coming he said, 'I want to give him my number,' and I don't even think Chris knows this yet,' Frank said Tuesday on a teleconference call. 'It's awesome that Brad made such a great gesture like that.' Frank said Beal understands what the jersey number means to Paul, who is widely known by his nickname 'CP3.' Paul played last season in San Antonio and forward Keldon Johnson gave up wearing No. 3 so Paul could have it. Paul has worn the number since he entered the NBA in 2005. Beal has yet to decide what number he'll wear for the upcoming season, Frank said. Advertisement Paul, a free agent, signed with the Clippers for what is expected to be his 21st and final NBA season, citing a desire to return to Los Angeles where his family lives. He played 82 games for the Spurs, but will come off the bench for the Clippers. 'Chris was the best guy for the job as long as we all understand what the role is," Frank said. 'There will be nights Chris plays a lot and there will be nights he does not.' ___ AP NBA: Beth Harris, The Associated Press
