Alec Burks Golden State Warriors – No. 8 to No. 20.
Quinn Cook, Los Angeles Lakers – No. 2 to No. 28.
Cook’s change is inspired by both Kobe and his daughter Gianna, who wore No. 2. “No. 2 is Gianna’s number,” he told The Athletic. “I feel it should be retired. It’s hers.”
Mo Harkless, Los Angeles Clippers – No. 8 to No. 11.
Jahlil Okafor, New Orleans Pelicans – No. 8 to No. 9.
Terrence Ross, Orlando Magic – No. 8 to No. 31
Ross wore 31 with the Toronto Raptors prior to his change to No. 8 with the Magic.
Zhaire Smith, Philadelphia 76ers – No. 8 to 5.
Miye Oni, Utah Jazz – Oni will change his number from 24 to 81 to honor Bryant’s historic feat of scoring 81 points against the Toronto Raptors on Jan. 22, 2006.
Mason Plumlee, Denver Nuggets – No. 24 to No. 7.
