The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston assistant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the 18th of 18 who wore the No. 20, guard alum Josh Okogie. After ending his college career at Georgia Tech, Okogie was picked up with the 20th overall selection of the 2018 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Lagos, Nigeria native played the first four seasons of his pro career with Minnesota. He also played for the Phoenix Suns and Charlotte Hornets before he signed with the Rockets in 2025. He remains with the team at the time of writing.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Okogie wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
