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 eighth of those players wearing No. 13 played in the Brooklyn Nets era, guard alum Jorge Gutierrez. After ending his college career at California, Gutierrez would go unselected in the 2012 NBA draft, instead playing abroad and in the G League before signing with the Nets in 2014.
His stay with the team would span parts of two seasons, ending when he was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers late that year.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Gutierrez wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 3.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
