The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.

And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder’s history today.

For this article, we continue with the 13th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 11, with 16 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.

The 16th of those 16 players to wear No. 11 did so in the Oklahoma City Thunder era, guard alum Isaiah Joe. After ending his college career at the University of Arkansas, Joe was picked up with the 49th overall selection of the 2020 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Fort Smith, Arkansas native would play the first season of his pro career with the 76ers before he’d be cut in 2022, opening up the opportunity to sign with the Thunder. His stay with the team continues to the present.

During his time suiting up for the Thunder, Joe wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 8.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.
