Every player in Philadelphia 76ers history who has worn the No. 35
With that longevity, the team has had hundreds of players come through the City of Brotherly Love. Sixers Wire looks at the No. 35 which has been worn by 16 of those players in the history of the franchise. This running series will go through all of the uniform numbers worn in franchise history.
Here is the list of the 16 players who have worn No. 35 in Sixers history:
Bill Gabor
This goes back to the franchise's Syracuse Nationals days, but Gabor only wore No. 35 during the 1949-50 season. He switched to No. 7 the following season. He made an All-Star game and averaged 9.8 points in his career with the team.

Barry Yates
Yates played in just 24 games for his entire NBA career, all with the Sixers, and he averaged 2.9 points and 1.7 rebounds while wearing the No. 35.

Sorenson, playing for Ohio State from his college days in the above photo, averaged 5.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in 48 games for the Sixers in the 1972-73 season.
Armen Gilliam
Gilliam played in 211 games with 157 starts across three seasons with the Sixers, and he averaged 14.7 points and 7.2 rebounds. He was a very productive player for them.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe, Terance Mann react to John Wall's NBA retirement
The Brooklyn Nets have been trying to improve the roster for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season as the franchise continues what it hopes will be a short rebuild process. Between now and when training camp begins in September, Brooklyn's last bit of business is re-signing guard Cam Thomas. However, there is another guard that some players on the team are paying attention to. John Wall, formerly of the Washington Wizards, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Clippers, announced his retirement on Tuesday in a video that he posted to his account on X. Wall retired from the NBA after spending 11 seasons in the league, most of that time spent with the Wizards as he established himself as one of the marquee point guards during the 2010s. Nets forward Terance Mann, who spent one season as Wall's teammate during the 2022-23 season when both were with the Clippers, posted on his X account that Tuesday was an "emotional" day for him. After the 2016-17 season when he made his fourth of his five All-Star appearances, Wall did not play more than 41 games in a season as he dealt with various injuries during that time. Brooklyn center Day'Ron Sharpe who, like Wall, hails from North Carolina, gave a shoutout to Wall on his Instagram Story calling Wall an "NC Legend" for the work that he did since leaving North Carolina to pursue his professional basketball aspirations. Wall was a one-and-done at the University of Kentucky before entering the 2010 NBA Draft, where the Wizards took him with the first overall pick. Wall, 34, did not win a championship in the NBA, but he has plenty of accomplishments from his time in the league. Wall was part of the 2011 All-Rookie First-Team, five-time All-Star, won the Slam Dunk Contest in 2014, Second-Team All-Defense in 2015, and was Third-Team All-NBA in 2017. As Mann and Sharpe showed, Wall will always be remembered fondly for what he did was one of the better players during his prime.

Michigan edge Derrick Moore lands on ESPN's Top 100 players list
With just 10 days until its season-opener, No. 14 Michigan is set to wrap up fall camp and pivot towards game prep for Aug. 30's matchup against New Mexico. In preparation for that first full Saturday of the 2025 college football season, ESPN has released a list of the Top 100 players in the country heading into this fall. In years past, Michigan players have littered this list, but with most of the core of U-M's 2023 national championship run having moved on to the NFL, the Wolverines are represented by just one individual on this year's ESPN list: senior edge rusher Derrick Moore. Moore comes in as the No. 81 player nationally according to ESPN, as the senior looks to lead a somewhat new-look defensive line for Michigan in 2025. "After two straight seasons of consistent production for the Wolverines' defense, Moore heads into his senior season ready to once again be one of the key cogs in Wink Martindale's unit," ESPN's Paolo Uggetti wrote of Moore. "At Big Ten media days, Moore made news by joking that Ohio State's title was not a "real win" because the Buckeyes didn't beat Michigan." Expectations are high for the Michigan's defense under second-year coordinator Wink Martindale heading into this season. The Wolverines' defensive line is a major factor in that optimism, with Moore returning alongside fellow senior T.J. Guy to form one of the most dangerous edge rushing duos in the country. Defensive line is perhaps Michigan's deepest position group as well. Edge rushers Cameron Brandt and Dominic Nichols have made noise during fall camp and will rotate with Moore and Guy on the exterior. Meanwhile, on the inside, senior defensive tackle Rayshawn Benny brings All-Big Ten potential, while Clemson transfer Tre Williams also brings a lot of experience to the group. Michigan is expected to rotate up to six defensive tackles throughout the season, with Alabama transfer Damon Payne and home-grown talents Trey Pierce, Enow Etta and Ike Iwunnah are vying for snaps. Michigan will unleash its defensive line depth in earnest on Aug. 30, when the Wolverines welcome New Mexico to the The Big House.

Looking back as they prepare to take on the rival Yankees, how do the Red Sox think they did at the trade deadline?
For the Yankees, Bednar and third baseman Ryan McMahon have come as advertised, but their other acquisitions have been unavailable or disappointing. Bird got demoted to Triple A, Doval has struggled, and three position players have landed on the injured list. Advertisement The Yankees have gone 8-8 since the deadline. But after an initial stumble, they've found their footing, winning four straight. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The Red Sox are 9-8 since the deadline but enter the series having dropped three straight and eight of their last 12. They're springing leaks, making it natural to wonder if they could have done more in the days leading up to July 31. Craig Breslow isn't and wasn't immune to such thoughts. On the night after the deadline, the Red Sox' chief baseball officer got little sleep, perhaps an hour or two. 'Deadline activity goes right up until 6 o'clock, and at 6:01 I can't just say, 'OK, now I'm going to go to bed.' I'm still thinking through, 'How did all of these pieces fit together?' ' he said. 'You think through every conversation and every opportunity.' Advertisement At the time, Breslow and the Sox acknowledged disappointment about what they'd failed to accomplish. They wanted badly to add a controllable top-of-the-rotation starter, with Twins righthander Joe Ryan deemed the ultimate prize. While multiple Sox decision-makers believed they had a shot at acquiring the All-Star in the minutes leading up to the deadline thanks to a willingness to anchor a package with any two of their top three prospects (Payton Tolle, Franklin Arias, or Jhostynxon Garcia), a deal never materialized. The Sox also engaged Marlins officials about their controllable starters, Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera, but those conversations were mostly conceptual rather than reaching concrete offers. In the end, starting pitchers with years of team control didn't move at the deadline. Instead, it was a deadline most notable for trades of power relievers (Mason Miller, Jhoan Duran, Bednar) and rentals (slugging corner infielders Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor to the Mariners, first baseman Ryan O'Hearn to the Padres, righthanded starter Merrill Kelly from the Diamondbacks to the Rangers), along with a one-off move of Carlos Correa back to Houston. At the time of the deadline, Philosophically, the Sox proved more hesitant to deal their higher-end prospects for rentals than other teams, explaining why, for instance, Kelly ended up going to the Rangers. For the Sox to deal their best prospects, particularly those with a chance to help the big league club this year or next, they had a clear preference to get players with years of team control. Related : Advertisement The Sox have experienced the full spread of outcomes when it comes to rental acquisitions, from the best-case scenario of Steven Pearce in 2018 to the faceplants of Eric Gagne in 2007, and James Paxton, Lucas Sims, and Luis García in 2024. Rentals can represent high-reward dice rolls that also can yield almost nothing; controllable players have a greater likelihood of delivering their anticipated value. 'There's an element of randomness to all deadline acquisitions,' said Breslow. 'I fully subscribe to the reality that the acquisitions will be defined by what happens from Aug. 1 through the end of the season. But in a perfect world, control is really valuable and acquirable, but it's also really, really expensive. You know you're giving up some element of your future. You want to be able to take as many shots as you can with getting value from what you've brought in.' That said, the Sox were willing to give up valuable prospects for rental players — within limits. For instance, according to industry sources, the Sox were willing to deal flamethrowing lefthander Brandon Clarke (a 2024 fifth-rounder who this year jumped onto top-100 prospect lists) to Arizona as part of a package for Kelly. When the Diamondbacks countered by asking for Connelly Early (now part of the Sox' big league depth equation in Triple A) and others, the Sox balked. Instead, they moved for another rental and landed May for two prospects — outfielders James Tibbs and Zach Ehrhard — who were further away from the big leagues and whose paths to Boston weren't as clear. Through three starts, May has given the Sox the boost they sought, posting a 2.87 ERA with 17 strikeouts and four walks in 15⅔ innings. Advertisement 'I love the way he competes,' said manager Alex Cora. 'If he continues to throw the ball the way he did [on Monday, while logging six innings and allowing two runs to the Orioles], we're going to be fine.' While Matz has offered solid relief aside from a homer that led to a loss to the Marlins on Sunday (1.42 ERA, no runs allowed in five of six outings), the bullpen has been vulnerable this month, posting a 4.25 ERA (19th in the majors) and 20 percent strikeout rate (26th). It's worth noting that the Yankees' bullpen has posted a slightly higher ERA this month (4.27). Still, the Sox have struggled to find consistent contributors beyond Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Whitlock, and Matz in August. The lack of bullpen swing-and-miss is a shortcoming. With the trade deadline past, the Sox believe they still have internal reinforcements. 'I think what you want to do is make sure [that] as you are staring down August and September, that you've given yourself options and multiple layers of options,' said Breslow. 'I think we have depth currently in Triple A that maybe we haven't had in a number of years.' Breslow cited several WooSox pitchers as potential big league contributors, including Zack Kelly, Nick Burdi, and David Sandlin, as well as starters Richard Fitts, Kyle Harrison, and Tolle — the latter of whom is seen as a big league starter or reliever. 'I do think we have layers of depth, and we're going to need all of them,' said Breslow. Will those layers prove sufficient? Beginning this weekend in Yankee Stadium, there are six remaining weeks of the season to find out, and to determine how the Sox will look back upon their deadline activity. Advertisement 'I think we're thankful for what is still in our organization,' said Breslow. 'But we've got to figure out a way to keep winning and get to the postseason and make a deep postseason run. Otherwise, [how the team feels about the deadline now] doesn't really matter.'
