Six NBA players wear #31 heading into the 2026-27 season, one apiece across 6 different teams. The group spans forwards, centers, and one guard, with heights ranging from 6'5" to 6'11".
The youngest of the six is Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun, born in 2005, while the oldest is Golden State Warriors forward Georges Niang, born in 1993. That age spread gives the #31 roster an unusually wide generational range for a single jersey number.
