The Oklahoma City Thunder inked PJ Dozier to a two-way contract Tuesday, and he'll wear No. 35.

That, of course, is Kevin Durant's old number, which hasn't been used since the All-NBA forward left OKC last summer in free agency for the Golden State Warriors.

While some members of Thunder Nation opted to burn or even shoot their KD jerseys, this one saved his so he could do this:

When asked about his choice of digits, the undrafted guard out of USC said it had nothing to do with the departed superstar. Instead, it's a tribute to his second cousin Reggie Lewis, who wore No. 35 with the Boston Celtics from 1987-93.

"I didn't even think anything twice about it when I (asked for) it," Dozier told reporters.
