Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 17 - Rashad Vaughn (2018)
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 fourth of those players wearing No. 17 played in the Brooklyn Nets era, guard alum Rashad Vaughn. After ending his college career at UNLV, Vaughn was picked up with the 17th overall selection of the 2015 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Minneapolis, Minnesota native would play parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with the Bucks, coming to an end when he was dealt to Brooklyn in 2018. His stay with the team would span a single game before he was dealt again, this time to the Orlando Magic for his last stop at the NBA level.

Former NBA Star Shares Hilarious Nikola Jokic Offseason Update
Former NBA Star Shares Hilarious Nikola Jokic Offseason Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Denver Nuggets saw their hopes of winning another NBA Championship dashed at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets faced a significant amount of adversity on their way to the NBA Playoffs. Advertisement The Nuggets shocked many around the league when they announced they were firing head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth just days before the end of the regular season. As a result, David Adelman stepped in as the interim head coach before ultimately earning the job.

Downing-Imagn Images Former NBA Champion shares hilarious Nikola Jokic update in offseason Nobody knew exactly what to expect from the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, especially with an interim head coach at the helm being thrown into the fire that is playoff basketball. However, the Nuggets performed admirably, defeating a tough Los Angeles Clippers team in seven games to advance to the second round. Advertisement Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic did everything he could to will the Nuggets past the buzzsaw Oklahoma City Thunder. In Game 1, he was successful, scoring 42 points and securing 22 rebounds to take the series lead and momentum. However, injuries eventually caught up to the rest of the team, including Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon and the Nuggets fell in seven games. Now, in the offseason, his teammate and former NBA Champion DeAndre Jordan shared the update he received from Jokic back in his home country of Serbia. "He sent me a picture with a horse," Jordan said. "A selfie, him and the horse together. I was like 'Alright, have fun, brother.'" Jokic has gained fame for his passion for horses and horse racing. It should be of little to no surprise to hear Jokic enjoying himself and away from basketball. Advertisement The Nuggets will face some difficult decisions this offseason. Do they do a massive shake-up of the roster, or do they attempt to address their lack of depth and add role guys rather than making a play for another star? Only time will tell. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Angels promote top prospect Christian Moore for series at Baltimore
ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels promoted their top prospect, second baseman Christian Moore, ahead of Friday's game in Baltimore. He hit ninth and played second base in his debut for the Angels. Moore was the eighth overall pick in the 2024 draft out of Tennessee. Moore began his season with Double-A Rocket City and was promoted last month to Triple-A Salt Lake. He hit five homers with 32 RBIs overall in the minor leagues this season. Moore is already the fifth player from last year's draft to reach the major leaguers. He joined such standouts as Kansas City's Jac Caglianone. Moore hit .302 with 11 homers and 52 RBIs in 79 career minor-league games. He hit a Tennessee-record 34 homers last season and holds the program record with 61. The 22-year-old Moore is a Brooklyn, New York, naive and helped lead the Vols to the College World Series championship last season. ___ AP MLB:
