The\u00a0Houston Rockets<\/a>\u00a0have 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\u00a0Rockets history.<\/p>\n

To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades,\u00a0Rockets 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.<\/p>\n

With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest\u00a0Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.<\/p>\n

And for today’s article, we will continue with the third of 11 who wore the No. 13, guard alum Andre Turner. After ending his college career at Memphis<\/a>, Turner was picked up with the 69th overall pick (there were many more rounds to the draft in that era) of the 1986 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Memphis, Tennessee native played the first seasons of his pro career with Boston<\/a>, coming to an end when he was cut in 1986, picked up by the Houston Rockets in 1987. His stay with the team lasted until he was drafted by the Miami Heat<\/a> in 1988.<\/p>\n

During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Turner wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 2.9 points and 1.9 assists per game.<\/p>\n
