Dion Waiters could not wear Nos. 1 or 3 when he joined the Oklahoma City Thunder via trade, so he decided to wear No. 13.

However, Waiters said he was told not to wear No. 13, which was worn by James Harden with the Thunder before his trade to the Houston Rockets in 2013.

“They didn’t want me to wear 13,” Waiters said. “…Guess they wanted me to have my own identity.”
