Every Thunder player who’s worn No. 6

The NBA recently announced that the league plans on retiring the No. 6 jersey on all 30 teams in honor of Bill Russell, who recently passed away.

Due to multiple players already sporting the No. 6 jersey, the NBA decided to grandfather in active players with the number. This includes Oklahoma City Thunder rookie forward Jaylin Williams.

Williams was drafted 34th overall in the second round of the 2022 NBA draft. The 20-year-old will be the final player in Thunder history to wear No. 6.

Let’s take a look at the full nine players who’ve worn the No. 6 number in a Thunder jersey since the team relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008.
