|
November 15, 1991 - Just one week following Magic Johnson's bombshell revelation that he'd tested positive for HIV, Philadelphia 76ers superstar Charles Barkley received special permission from the NBA to temporarily switch from jersey No. 34 to Magic Johnson's No. 32, paying homage to his future Dream Team teammate.
Barkley finished with 28 points (12-of-17 shooting) and 11 rebounds in a 122-97 loss to the Boston Celtics. Box Score: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199111150BOS.html Special thanks to Hardwood and Hoops |
