Yesterday, Dion Waiters announced that he will wear No. 23 for the OKC Thunder. It was initially unclear why Watiers, who has worn No. 3 throughout his career, would pick 23. However, Waiters clarified how he got stuck with 23:
Dion Waiters said he wanted to wear #13 with #3 unavailable but Thunder didn't want him to wear it so he's #23. James Harden wore #13.
