Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 10 - Ben Simmons (2022-25)
The Brooklyn Nets have 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".
Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.

The 12th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 10 which has has had a total of 31 players wear the number in the history of the team.
The 31st of those players wearing No. 10 played in the Brooklyn Nets era, forward alum Ben Simmons, After ending his college career at LSU, Simmons was picked up with the first overall selection of the 2016 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Melbourne, Australia native would play the first 4 seasons of his pro career with the Sixers before he was traded to the Nets in 2022. His stay with the team would span parts of 3 seasons, ending when he was cut in 2025.
