Charlotte Hornets retired jersey numbers

1 number honoring 1 player in the reviewed records.

One original Charlotte player-number retirement is established: Bobby Phills No. 13 on February 9, 2000. The official team’s 2014 announcement explicitly distinguishes that original ceremony from a planned November 1 re-hanging. The re-hanging schedule is not treated as a completed event or substituted for the original retirement date. NBA historical reporting independently corroborates the original date. This is not a complete current inventory of Hornets honors and does not transfer the record to the Pelicans.
