Russell Westbrook will wear No. 4 for the Denver Nuggets next season after Hunter Tyson agreed to switch from No. 5. Westbrook previously wore No. 4 during his time with the Washington Wizards.

He sought to wear No. 0 but was unable to as it is owned by Christian Braun, who played a pivotal role in the Nuggets' championship win. Westbrook has a personal connection to the No. 4, having worn it in high school.
