The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder's history today.
For this article, we continue with the 24th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 22, with 20 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The 15th of those players did so in the Oklahoma City Thunder era, guard alum Mustafa Shakur. After ending his college career at Arizona, Shakur would go unselected in the 2007 NBA draft, instead playing abroad and in the G League until he signed with the Washington Wizards briefly in 2011.
It would take until 2014 for the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native to get back to the NBA, however, signing with OKC that year for his last stint in the league.
During his time suiting up for the Thunder, Shakur wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 1.3 assists per game.
