8 numbers honoring 8 players in the reviewed records.
Eight player-number retirements explicitly listed in the NBA Staff overview published August 7, 2025. Four additional records are excluded from this confirmed count because the sources disagree: Dan Majerle 9, Steve Nash 13, Tom Chambers 24 and Charles Barkley 34. The official Suns announcement calls them retired numbers; the later NBA Staff overview classifies them as honored but not retired. The team establishes the name Tom Chambers; the overview’s Tom Chamberlain spelling is not adopted. This conflict remains unresolved. Ring of Honor membership alone does not establish retirement, a literal banner label or a completed ceremony date. This dated review is not a complete current inventory of team honors.
