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. 31, which has been worn by 15 of those players in the history of the franchise.

This running series will go through all of the uniform numbers worn in franchise history. The previous edition of this series was a list compiling the two players who have worn the No. 32.

Son of legendary Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes has passed away

In case you missed it, condolences to the Hayes family.

Former Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes is an icon, not only in the illustrious history of Ohio State football but in all of college football. Much like the names of Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, and Tom Osborne, Hayes stands as one of the giants of the game.

On Saturday, we were given the sad news that Steve Hayes, the only son of Woody and Anne Hayes, passed away at the age of 76. Steve Hayes served as a Municipal Court Judge in Franklin County, Ohio, for 25 years and was always a supporter of The Ohio State University.

He was a graduate of Ohio State and established The Anne Hayes Memorial Scholorship for Academic Excellence in the College of Social Work to honor his late mother.

Judge Hayes was the presiding judge in a 2003 misdemeanor case against former Buckeye running back Maurice Clarett but eventually removed himself from overseeing the case.

Ohio State President, Kristina M. Johnson, offered these words about Judge Hayes in a written statement:

The Ohio State University and Buckeye Nation mourn the passing of a loyal friend and supporter, Steve Hayes… Judge Hayes was inspired by his parents’ belief in “paying forward” in his career, his service to the community and his dedication to Ohio State. We offer condolences to his family.”

We offer our condolences as well to one of the most revered families in Buckeye history.
