The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston assistant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today’s article, we will continue with the 15th of 15 players who wore the No. 6, forward alum KJ Martin. After ending his high school career, Martin was picked up with the 52nd overall selection of the 2020 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings.
The Gardena, California native played the first three seasons of his pro career with Houston after being dealt to them before the start of his rookie season. His stay with the team lasted until he was dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2023.
