James Harden’s familiar No. 13 will be back in Toyota Center on Wednesday when he returns as a member of the Brooklyn Nets.
Eventually, it will return and never leave.
The Rockets plan to retire Harden’s number in honor of eight record-breaking seasons, Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta said.
“James Harden will always be a Rocket,” Fertitta said via text message Tuesday. “Of course, we will retire his jersey. He made my first three years of owning this franchise unforgettable. The success he brought this franchise over eight years and the memories he created for our fan base/community (are) truly remarkable.”
The Rockets have retired the uniform numbers of Calvin Murphy (23,) Moses Malone (24,) Hakeem Olajuwon (34,) Rudy Tomjanovich (45,) Clyde Drexler (22,) and Yao Ming (11,) along with the initials of long-time assistant coach and executive Carroll Dawson.
Harden was the eleventh Rockets player to wear No. 13. He will also be the last.
