Here is a list of all 19 players who have worn the No. 30 uniform in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers.
It’s summertime in the NBA, so it’s time to learn some history. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the older franchises in the NBA. Their history dates to the 1949-50 season.
With that longevity, the team has had hundreds of players come through the City of Brotherly Love. Sixers Wire looks at the No. 30, which has been worn by 19 of those players in the history of the franchise.
Reggie Evans was an animal on the glass for the Brooklyn Nets, nightly. But he went the extra mile on March 27, 2013.
With the NBA on hiatus — which NBA commissioner Adam Silver set at 30 days — and New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, placing a ban on gatherings of more than 500 people for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, no Brooklyn Nets games will be played for the time being.
For the Nets, as much as any team, this comes at an odd time — Brooklyn was battling the Orlando Magic for the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference standings. At the stoppage of play, the Nets had a half-game advantage over the Magic.
Since there aren’t any games, each day Nets Wire will highlight major individual performances and key developments throughout Nets history:
Reggie Evans’ lone full season with the Brooklyn Nets was the best, in terms of rebounding, in his NBA career.
If you look at his career per-game totals, his highest rebounds per game average came in 2010-11 (11.5). However, Evans only played in 30 games that season.
Whereas, when he was in Brooklyn for all of 2012-13, Evans averaged 11.1 boards per game over 80 contests. And the forward’s biggest night came on March 27, 2013, when he grabbed 26 rebounds in the Nets’ 111-93 win over the Portland Trail Blazers (full box score).
Evans set a new career-high by reaching the mark — and he would never tie the total in a single game throughout the rest of his NBA career. He also tied his career-high in points with 22.
Brook Lopez led the Nets in scoring with 28 in the win, while Deron Williams had a team-high 10 assists. Gerald Wallace, Marshon Brooks and Andray Blatche all scored 12 points apiece. Keith Bogans pitched in 11.
Brook Lopez and Deron Williams carried the Brooklyn Nets on the offensive end in the teams win over the Dallas Mavericks on March 20, 2013.
With the NBA going on hiatus — which NBA commissioner Adam Silver set as at least 30 days on Thursday — and New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, placing a ban on gatherings of more than 500 people for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus outbreak in the United States, no Brooklyn Nets games will be played for the time being.

Since there aren’t any games, each day Nets Wire will highlight major individual performances and key developments throughout Nets history:
Brook Lopez and Deron Williams were electric during their trip to Dallas on March 20, 2013. The pair combined for 69 points in the Brooklyn Nets’ 113-96 win (full box score). Both shot over 50% from the floor as the big man led the team with his 38 points.
“When you’re feeling good and feel like you can’t miss, it’s a good feeling,” Williams said after the win.
Lopez also grabbed 11 boards, but he did not lead the team in that category. Rebound machine Reggie Evans finished with 22 rebounds in the win. He and Lopez accounted for 73.3% of Brooklyn’s rebounding (45).
Williams also finished with six assists and Gerald Wallace had five steals.
Andray Blatche was the only other Nets player to finish in double figures in the win. He scored 14 points off the bench.
Jarrett Allen had another strong rebounding performance for the Brooklyn Nets against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.
Jarrett Allen has been an absolute machine on the glass for the Brooklyn Nets all season. He entered Saturday’s game averaging 10.5 boards per game, placing him at No. 11 in rebounds per game in the NBA, seventh overall in the Eastern Conference.
In each of the nine games prior to Saturday’s matchup with the Toronto Raptors, Allen grabbed 10 or more rebounds — a career-best streak for 10-plus-rebound games.
Allen extended the streak to 10 games before the start of the fourth quarter on Saturday. The Fro’s streak is the longest streak by a Net since Reggie Evans’ streak in the 2012-13 season. The former Nets power forward logged 10-plus rebounds in 18 consecutive games that season.
Last season, Allen averaged 8.4 rebounds per game. In his rookie season, he grabbed 5.4 a night.
