= Retired number
{wiki=Retired_number}
A retired number is a practice in sports where a team permanently removes a player's jersey number from use in honor of that player’s contributions to the team. This is commonly done to commemorate players who have made significant impacts on the franchise, achieved remarkable accomplishments, or are considered legends within the organization. When a player's number is retired, no other player on the team is allowed to wear that number, signifying the player's unique legacy.
