OKC Thunder jersey history No. 36 - Etan Thomas (2009-10)
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 36th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 36, with two players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise. The second of those players did so in the Oklahoma City Thunder era, big man alum Etan Thomas. After ending his college career at Syracuse, Thomas was picked up with the 12th overall selection of the 2000 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks. The Harlem, New York native spent his rookie season injured, and was dealt to the Washington Wizards in 2001, playing seven seasons with the Wiz before being dealt to OKC by way of the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2009. His stay with the team would span a single season, coming to an end when he signed with the Atlanta Hawks in 2010. During his time suiting up for the Thunder, Thomas wore only jersey No. 36 and put up 3.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
