Every jersey number tells a story, and for the Houston Rockets, the No. 13 has been worn by 11 different players over the years. Today, we're spotlighting Andre Turner, a guard who brought his college talents from Memphis to the NBA and briefly made his mark in Houston.

Turner's journey to the Rockets was anything but direct. Drafted in the 69th overall pick of the 1986 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers—a time when the draft had many more rounds—he initially suited up for the Boston Celtics. After being cut in 1986, the Rockets picked him up in 1987, giving the Memphis, Tennessee native a fresh start in H-Town.

During his tenure with the Rockets from 1986 to 1988, Turner exclusively wore jersey No. 13. While his time in Houston was brief, he contributed 2.9 points and 1.9 assists per game—a steady hand off the bench during a transitional period for the team. His stay ended when he was selected by the Miami Heat in the 1988 expansion draft.

For fans of Rockets history, Turner represents just one chapter in the rich legacy of players who've donned the team's colors. With seven jerseys now retired to honor all-time greats, every number—from 00 to 55—has a story worth remembering. And No. 13? It's a number that reminds us that even brief stints can leave a lasting impression.
