The Brooklyn Nets have a storied history, featuring 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 players since their inception in 1967 as the New Jersey Americans. Among these numbers, jersey No. 17 has seen seven players don its emblem, with Dennis Schroder being the most recent. Acquired from the Toronto Raptors in 2024, Schroder averaged 16.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists during his tenure with the Nets. His journey, starting with the Atlanta Hawks after being drafted 17th overall in 2013, took him through several franchises, including the Lakers and Celtics, before landing in Brooklyn. However, his time with the Nets was brief, as he was traded to the Golden State Warriors before the year ended.
