  "account": "The Houston Rockets have worn a staggering 52 different jersey numbers throughout their history, donned by approximately 500 players since the team's inception in 1967. To commemorate this extensive jersey history, Rockets Wire has embarked on a comprehensive journey, detailing the evolution of the Rockets' jersey numbers, from the team's founding to the present day. Seven of these jerseys have been retired in honor of the team's greatest players.\n\nToday, we delve into the 10th of 16 players who wore the iconic No. 33 jersey, Mike Harris. Following his collegiate career at Rice, Harris went undrafted in the 2005 NBA Draft and began his professional journey abroad. A Houston native, Harris made his NBA debut with the Rockets in 2008. He initially played for the Rockets for two seasons before being cut in 2010. Harris then spent time with the Washington Wizards before returning to the Rockets in March of that year. His tenure with Houston concluded in 2012 when he signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves.\n\nDuring his time with the Rockets, Harris wore only jerseys Nos. 19 and 33, tallying an average of 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. All statistics and data are sourced from Basketball Reference. This article is a part of Rockets Wire's extensive series on the Rockets' jersey history.",
