It isn’t just people in Houston that are excited about perennial All-Star forward Kevin Durant joining the Rockets for the 2025-26 season.
Per Michael Shapiro of Chron.com, Durant’s No. 7 jersey is the highest-selling among all NBA players since his trade to the Rockets became official earlier this month.
Shapiro reports:
Chron obtained from Fanatics a ranking of the top-five highest-selling NBA jerseys on the Fanatics network, dating back to July 7 — one day after Durant was officially traded to Houston. Where does Houston’s new star land in this ranking? Right at the top, surpassing two recent champions, one highly hyped rookie, and one international icon.
For longtime Durant fans, it’s also an opportunity for a number refresh. The No. 7 jersey that the future Hall of Famer will wear in Houston is one that he’s only worn once in the NBA before (with the Brooklyn Nets).
At all of his other NBA stops — including the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and most recently the Phoenix Suns — Durant has worn the No. 35 jersey.
