Twelve players wear #33 across the 2026-27 NBA season, one per team across 12 franchises. The group skews heavily toward forwards, with a height range that runs from 6'3" to 7'0".
The youngest #33 in the league is Isaiah Evans of the Minnesota Timberwolves, born Dec 6, 2005, while the oldest is Mario Hezonja of the Cleveland Cavaliers, born Feb 25, 1995. That spread of ages gives the number an unusually wide generational mix for a single digit.
