6 numbers honoring 6 players in the reviewed records.
Six player-number retirements are established for the Nets franchise, including explicitly reported New Jersey and ABA-era events. Those historical ceremonies are not described as Brooklyn-era events. The AP report names Carter as the seventh number retiree in January 2025, but does not bind a number to Bill Melchionni, who is outside this partial reviewed list. This is not a complete current inventory. Four dates are literal completed-event dates; Carter’s date is contextually derived and explained, while Kidd’s date is unknown. Carter’s Toronto retirement and Erving’s Philadelphia retirement remain separate records.
