The\u00a0Brooklyn Nets<\/a>\u00a0have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the “New Jersey Americans”.<\/p>\n

Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York\u00a0Nets<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0New Jersey Nets<\/a>\u00a0before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.<\/p>\n

To commemorate the players who played for the\u00a0Nets<\/a>\u00a0over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers,\u00a0Nets<\/a>\u00a0Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise’s jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 23rd of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 22, which has has had a total of 31 players wear the number in the history of the team.<\/p>\n

The 28th of those players wearing No. 22 played in the Brooklyn Nets<\/a> era, guard alum Markel Brown. After ending his college career at Oklahoma State, Brown was picked up with the 44th overall selection of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

The Pineville, Louisiana native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with Brooklyn instead after a near-draft night deal. His stay with the team ended when he signed with the G League’s Maine Red Claws (now, Maine Celtics) in 2015.<\/p>\n

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Brown wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.<\/p>\n
