Six NBA players wear #28 in the 2026-27 season, one per team across 6 franchises. The group skews tall and young, with centers making up the majority of the roster spots.
The oldest of the six is Rui Hachimura of the LA Clippers, born Feb 8, 1998, in Toyama, Japan. The youngest is Hugo Gonzalez of the Boston Celtics, born Feb 5, 2006. That age spread gives the #28 group a notably wide generational range for such a small set of players.
Think you'd know these players from their team, height, age and jersey number alone?
