The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder's history today.
For this article, we continue with the 24th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 22, with 20 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The third of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, forward alum Tal Skinner. After ending his college career at University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Skinner was picked up with the 44th overall selection of the 1974 NBA draft by the SuperSonics.
The Berlin, Maryland native played his only 2 seasons in the league for Seattle, retiring from the sport afterward.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Skinner wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 4.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.
