During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Stansbury wore only jersey No. 44 and put up 4.0 points and 1.3 assists per game.
The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder's history today.
For this article, we continue with the 42nd jersey number in the series, jersey No. 44, with 15 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The sixth of those players who did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, guard alum Terence Stansbury. After ending his college career at Temple, Stansbury was picked up with the 15th overall selection of the 1984 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks.
The Wilmington, Delaware native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Indiana Pacers after being dealt there before the start of his rookie campaign. That ended with a trade to Seattle for the final season of his NBA career in 1986.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Stansbury wore only jersey No. 44 and put up 4.0 points and 1.3 assists per game.
