It’s summertime in the NBA, so it’s time to learn some history. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the older franchises in the NBA. Their history dates to the 1949-50 season.
With that longevity, the team has had hundreds of players come through the City of Brotherly Love. Sixers Wire looks at the No. 20 which has been worn by a whopping 24 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 24 players who have worn No. 20 in Sixers history:
Gambee wore two numbers during his seven seasons in Philadelphia. The other was No. 30. For most of the time, he wore No. 20, and he averaged 11.5 points and 5.7 rebounds while with Philadelphia.
Filipek played 19 games for the Sixers, and he wore No. 20 in those games, averaging 2.3 points and 1.3 rebounds.
Raymond played 27 games for the Sixers in the 1968-69 season. He wore No. 20, and he averaged 2 points and 2.5 rebounds.
Hetzel played in 63 games for Philadelphia, and he averaged 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds.
Awtrey averaged 5.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 131 games across three seasons for Philadelphia.

Before he became an official, Wood was a player who began his career in Philadelphia. He averaged 4.1 points and 1.8 assists in 67 games donning the No. 20.
Vranes played 115 games for Philadelphia, and he averaged 2.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in those games.
