The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston assistant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.

And for today's article, we will continue with the 17th of 18 who wore the No. 20, big man alum Bruno Fernando. After ending his college career at Maryland, Fernando was picked up with the 34th overall selection of the 2019 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Luanda, Angola native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Atlanta Hawks after a trade before the start of his rookie season. He was dealt to Boston in 2021, and was dealt again, to the Houston Rockets in 2022. His stay with the team lasted until he was dealt back to Atlanta in 2023.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Fernando wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 4.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game.
