Westbrook will wear No. 4 with his new team.
with the Denver Nuggets this offseason, and the 35-year-old was hoping to wear the number he had used for most of his NBA career. Unfortunately for Westbrook, that jersey was taken and he was denied the chance to use it.Westbrook approached Christian Braun about taking his No. 0 jersey, but the third-year guard refused his approach. Westbrook then got second-year forward Hunter Tyson to agree to switch from No. 4 to No. 5. Tyson didn't charge Westbrook for the switch.
Westbrook has worn No. 0 for all but one season in his career. He wore it with the Oklahoma City Thunder from his rookie year in 2008-09 until the 2018-19 season. He then wore it with the Houston Rockets during the 2019-20 campaign, before switching to No. 4 in 2020-21 when he spent a year with the Washington Wizards. He reverted to No.
It will be strange seeing Westbrook in a different jersey than his trademark No. 0, but it's hard not to applaud Braun for standing up for his right to keep his jersey.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
