With that longevity, the team has had hundreds of players come through the City of Brotherly Love. Sixers Wire looks at the No. 35 which has been worn by 16 of those players in the history of the franchise. This running series will go through all of the uniform numbers worn in franchise history.
Here is the list of the 16 players who have worn No. 35 in Sixers history:
