OKC Thunder jersey history No. 22 - John Grieg (1983)
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 first of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, forward alum John Grieg. After ending his college career at Oregon, Grieg was picked up with the 65th overall selection of the 1982 NBA draft by the SuperSonics.
The Sacramento, California native would play the only season of his pro career with Seattle before heading overseas.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Grieg wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 2.1 points per game.

Puma Unveils Tyrese Haliburton Signature Sneaker Ahead of NBA Finals
NBA star Tyrese Haliburton is one of the major reasons the Indiana Pacers will be representing the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with Game 1 tipping off Thursday night on ABC. The 25-year-old Haliburton has not only played exceptionally well throughout this impressive Pacers' playoff run, he also happily embraced playing the role of the trolling villain to rabid Knicks fans under the bright lights at Madison Square Garden. Advertisement While the two-time NBA All-Star has always been a very good player, there probably hasn't been a time in Haliburton's five-year career where his name has been anywhere close to as hot as it's become over the last month. That's probably why Puma, who Haliburton signed a multi-year deal with before the season started, decided to strike while the iron's scorching hot and unveiled his signature sneaker literally hours before the start of the 2025 NBA Finals. This new line of signature Haliburton sneakers have been officially dubbed as The Puma Hali 1. What you're seeing in the above photos is The Puma Hali 1 "Hibiscus," which is reportedly set to release in September. Advertisement However, there won't be any kind of waiting game for Haliburton, who is expected to be debuting the signature shoe in the NBA Finals. "When I signed with Puma the first order of business was to sign a signature athlete," said respected designer Salehe Bembury, who also serves as VP of men's footwear at Versace. "They showed me a list of available and unavailable NBA athletes and told me to choose one to recruit. I chose Tyrese … He is him." Puma seems to have truly caught lightning in a bottle in choosing Haliburton, as he had just left Nike prior to this season. As of now, there has been no confirmed listed retail price for The Hali 1 "Hibiscus." Advertisement Haliburton and the Pacers are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
