Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 13 - Tyrese Martin (2024-25)
Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 13 - Tyrese Martin (2024-25) 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. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 15th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 13 which has has had a total of 18 players wear the number in the history of the team. The 18th of those players wearing No. 13 played in the Brooklyn Nets era, guard alum Tyrese Martin. After ending his college career at UConn, Martin was picked up with the 51st overall selection of the 2022 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors. The Allentown, Pennsylvania native would play the first season of his pro career with the Atlanta Hawks, however, after a draft night deal. He would sign with Brooklyn in 2024 after a stint in the G League, and remains with the team at the time of writing. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Martin wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Nets' Tyrese Martin 2024-25 NBA season highlights
Brooklyn Nets guard Tyrese Martin had the kind of 2024-25 NBA season that one could only write about in a story given how many great things happened due to his work. Brooklyn initially invited Martin to training camp in the fall with the chance of making a roster and before he knew it, Martin went from that to a standard NBA contract, showing that he arrived. Martin, 26, is coming off a 2024-25 season in which he averaged 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 40.6% from the field and 35.1% from three-point land for a Nets team that finished the year with a 26-56 record. Martin played in just 60 games, but part of the reason was due to the team having him in Long Island for some NBA G League minutes before bringing him up to Brooklyn. Advertisement Martin had the odds stacked against him coming into the season given that he had to fight for a roster spot through training camp after spending the entirety of the 2023-24 season in the G League. Following Martin making the team coming out of training camp, the Nets progressively gave him more minutes as the season went on due to a combination of injuries and roster transactions. Martin, who is listed as a shooting guard, also had to learn some new things along the way as head coach Jordi Fernandez played him at the point guard spot at times when D'Angelo Russell was unable due to his ankle injury. Martin introduced himself to the Nets fanbase in a 127-117 win at the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 27 when he went off for 30 points, four rebounds, and two assists while shooting 76.9% from the field and 80% from deep. "Tyrese Martin was hot all night. After the first half, every time he shot the ball, it felt like it was going in," Suns superstar Kevin Durant said of Martin following the game. With players like Durant acknowledging how much Martin had grown during his time with the Nets, here are some of the highlights from his career-best season as he heads into an offseason where Brooklyn could pick up his $2.1 team option: This article originally appeared on Nets Wire: Nets' Tyrese Martin 2024-25 NBA season highlights

Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images The Brooklyn Nets (24-51) had been in the midst of a stretch in which it seemed like they were losing nearly every game that they played coming out of the All-Star Break. While Brooklyn was coming off a crushing blowout loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, they had a chance of changing that with a visit to the Washington Wizards (16-58) and they finally pulled through. Advertisement The Nets beat the Wizards 115-112 on Saturday in what was an exciting game from start to finish thanks to how both teams were playing on the offensive end of the floor, including how Brooklyn finished the game. Tyrese Martin led the way for the Nets with 20 points, five rebounds, and four assists while Jalen Wilson had one of his best games of the season with 20 points and seven rebounds off the bench. Things got interesting in the fourth quarter of this one with the way that Colby Jones and AJ Johnson played for a young Wizards team, but Brooklyn was able to make the necessary plays down the stretch despite losing Cam Johnson and Noah Clowney going down with injuries. Here are three Nets takeaways from Saturday's win at the Wizards: Tyrese Martin Mar 29, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Brooklyn Nets guard Tyrese Martin (13) takes a shot over Washington Wizards forward Alex Sarr (20) during the first half at Capital One Arena. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Martin started in the absence of D'Angelo Russell and he had a better outing this time around as he had his game working from all over the floor. Martin's performance on Saturday is a continuation of how he has been playing in March with the way that he is running the offense as one of the point guards while also remaining aggressive on the offensive end of the floor with his shooting and driving ability. Advertisement Martin finished Saturday with 20 points, five rebounds, and four assists with just one turnover, showing the growth that he is making as a ball-handler, including making one of the biggest plays of the season towards the end of this game. With the Nets down 112-111 with 13.1 seconds left, head coach Jordi Fernandez drew up a play for Martin and center Drew Timme to work the pick-and-roll together and it resulted in the game-winning play for Brooklyn. Here's what Martin had to say about how the Nets were able to finish the game strong: "Just executing what Jordi wanted to run for us. I feel like there was major growth in that group today that was out there. With CJ going down, Noah going down, no older guys out there and things like that. Then, going through adversity with the three turnovers and still being able to execute and get a stop and come out on top, I feel like that was growth and good for the group." Jalen Wilson Mar 29, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Brooklyn Nets forward Jalen Wilson (22) celebrates during the second half against the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images While much has been made after this game regarding the connection between Tyrese Martin and Drew Timme, Jalen Wilson was one of the key reasons that the Nets were able to make their comeback from a 17-point deficit to pick up the win. Wilson had one of his best games of the season with 20 points, seven rebounds, and three assists, showing that he was ready to make the most of the 23 minutes that he was on the floor. Advertisement Wilson has been steady for the Nets this season despite not playing as much towards the end of the season as he was in the beginning. He has continued to do what has been asked of him and along the way, Wilson is showing that he can still be a productive player in limited minutes, especially with him shooting 36.5% from three-point land in March, his second-best percentage from that distance in a month this season. Here's what Wilson had to say about what allowed him to step to the challenge against the Wizards: "Just being ready to shoot. My teammates are creating, Wat (Trendon Watford) getting downhill, Tyrese getting downhill, just being ready to shoot and reading what the defense gave me." Drew Timme Mar 29, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Washington Wizards guard Colby Jones (1) takes a shot over Brooklyn Nets forward Drew Timme (26) during the second half at Capital One Arena. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Timme has been everything that the Nets could have expected in the past two games ever since the team signed him to a multi-year contract earlier this week. While Timme played well against a tough Los Angeles Clippers team on Friday, he turned right around and played even better against a Wizards team that loves to push the pace while also not playing too many bigs outside of Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukcevic. Advertisement Timme came off the bench to drop 19 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 29 minutes on the floor and his combination of skill in the post and his passing ability has been refreshing to watch for a Brooklyn team missing both Nic Claxton and Day'Ron Sharpe for this game. Timme was on the receiving end of a great pass from Tyrese Martin and while Timme didn't necessarily finish the layup (due to Washington goaltending), he was in the right place and was poised enough to put the ball where it needed to be. Here's what head coach Jordi Fernandez had to say about the opportunity that players like Timme are getting and how he is keeping those players engaged while the team is losing: "I saw them on the bench talking to each other. On the court. I think it was good. No quitting plays, more winning plays. That's what you want to do. You want to see that connectivity and making those runs. At the end of the day, you'll make mistakes. That happens, but if you do more positive than negative, that's usually how you find a way to win games."
