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 ninth of those players wearing No. 13 played in the Brooklyn Nets era, forward alum Quincy Acy. After ending his college career at Baylor, Acy was picked up with the 37th overall selection of the 2012 NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors.
The Tyler, Texas native would play parts of the first two seasons of his pro career with the Raps. He would also have stints with the Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Kings again, and Dallas Mavericks before he'd sign with Brooklyn in 2017.
His stay with the team would span parts of two seasons, ending when he signed with the Phoenix Suns in 2019. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Acy wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 6.1 points and 3.6 assists per game.
