The Houston Rockets have had 52 different jersey numbers worn by nearly 500 players since 1967. This article highlights the history of jersey number 13, worn by David Andersen during the 2009-10 season.
The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston assistant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.

And for today's article, we will continue with the ninth of 11 who wore the No. 13, big man alum David Andersen. After starting his pro career abroad, Anderson was picked up with the 37th overall selection of the 2002 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks.
The Melbourne, Australia native played the first season of his NBA career with the Houston Rockets after being signed by Houston in 2009. His stay came to an end when he was dealt to the Toronto Raptors in 2010.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Anderson wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
