The Houston Rockets will retire jersey No. 44 in honor of one of the game’s greatest scorers, Elvin Hayes, during halftime of Houston’s game against Indiana on November 18.
“We are thrilled to celebrate Elvin Hayes’ stellar career by retiring his jersey,” said Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta. “Elvin was the original basketball superstar in the City of Houston and has a lasting legacy with not only the NBA and the Rockets, but the University of Houston as well. We’re excited to honor Elvin and his family this November and see his jersey hang where it belongs, alongside the other legends from our franchise’s storied history.”
