[Saba Sports News] The Los Angeles Lakers will honor Jerry West throughout the 2024-25 season by wearing commemorative No. 44 bands on their jerseys.
West, who passed away earlier this year at 86, wore No. 44 during his legendary 14-season career with the Lakers, where he became a 14-time All-Star.
Beyond his playing days, West made a significant impact as a front-office executive, helping shape the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty.
Though he later worked for the LA Clippers and had a strained relationship with the Lakers in recent years, his legacy with the team and the NBA remains undeniable.
