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

And for today’s article, we will continue with the seventh of eight people to wear the No. 55 jersey, forward alum Mitch Creek<\/a>. After starting his pro career abroad, Creek went unselected in the 2014 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the Brooklyn Nets in 2019.<\/p>\n

The Horsham, Victoria native played parts of the sole season of his NBA career with Brooklyn, coming to an end when he signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n
