Kenrich Williams gets TCU college jersey retired

It was another jersey retirement for the Oklahoma City Thunder as veteran forward Kenrich Williams saw his No. 34 hang in the rafters at TCU’s home gym.

It was the second time Williams saw his jersey get retired as his high school also did the same earlier this season. The 29-year-old reflected on his journey, saying he couldn’t imagine this happening.

“I’m excited man! I’m super excited,” Williams said about his jersey retirement. “It’s a blessing just for me and my family. I think it’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be a good experience.”

Williams talked about the similar cultures both the Thunder and TCU share, saying they do a great job at fostering a supportive environment.

“Sam Presti is gonna be here today and it’s a good feeling to know the GM of the team is looking out and showing love like that,” Williams said.

During halftime of TCU’s game against Texas, Williams’ retirement ceremony occurred. It happened as the home crowd sported customized Williams shirts.

After being traded to OKC in 2020, Williams has carved out a nice role with the Thunder as a backup wing. In 38 games this season, he’s averaging 4.6 points on 47.3% shooting, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists.
