Earlier this week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that "multiple NBA players have begun informally retiring Kobe Bryant’s jersey number(s) as a tribute."
Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie was the first player to change his jersey number, going from No. 8 to No. 26. Many players have since joined him in changing their number out of respect for the Los Angeles Lakers legend.
Here's a running list that we will continue to add to if and when more players are announced:
| Player | Team | Old Jersey No. | New Jersey No. | Report |
| Spencer Dinwiddie | Brooklyn Nets | 8 | 26 | Official |

| Quinn Cook | Los Angeles Lakers | 2 | 28 | Shams Charania, The Athletic |
| Markieff Morris | Detroit Pistons | 8 | 88 | James Edwards III, The Athletic |

According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, the NBA is reviewing jersey number requests on a "case-by-case basis."
A total of 22 players have worn No. 8 this season. An additional 14 players have worn No. 24.
Bryant wore No. 8 between 1996 and 2006. He then wore No. 24 between 2006 and 2016.
