Warriors guard Alec Burks reportedly is joining a growing list of NBA players who no longer will wear No. 8 or 24 after Kobe Bryant's tragic death Sunday.
Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reported Wednesday morning that Burks will switch his jersey from No. 8 to No. 20 going forward.

SIGN UP HERE Burks previously has worn No. 10 on the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers and No. 13 with the Kings. He also wore No. 10 in college at the University of Colorado.
Bryant sported No. 10 on Team USA in the Olympics, but it's unknown if that played into Burks ever wearing the same jersey number.
The Warriors played their first game since Bryant's death Tuesday night, a 115-104 loss to the 76ers in Kobe's hometown of Philadelphia. Both the Warriors and Sixers paid tribute to Bryant throughout the night, and Golden State took a 24-second shot clock violation after Philadelphia gave them the ball from an eight-second backcourt violation to begin the game.

"Beginning of the game was tough," Warriors forward Draymond Green told reporters in Philadelphia following the loss. "We all want to honor Kobe, and then you go into a basketball game. That's a switch you can't flip. Those are real emotions."
The hurt, the emotions will continue to come. As will the deserved tributes, such as Burks' jersey switch, to honor a legend.
