5 numbers honoring 5 players in the reviewed records.
Five former-player number retirements from the Washington Wizards official retrospective, published April 26, 2024 and updated April 29. The cohort includes the franchise’s Baltimore and Washington Bullets history; players need not have appeared under the Wizards name. Four exact ceremony dates are stated in completed-event paragraphs, with Gus Johnson’s date independently corroborated by NBA history. Earl Monroe’s paragraph conflicts internally on the ceremony year and arena anniversary, so his exact date is withheld. Busts and other nonplayer honors are not counted as retired player numbers. This is not a complete current inventory of all team honors.
