Denver Nuggets #56 Jerseys: Francisco Elson & More

Nuggets #56 Jersey Selection

Showcase your Denver Nuggets pride with this unique Denver Nuggets #56 jersey. This distinctive number was worn exclusively by center Francisco Elson during his Denver career from 2003 through 2006. Selected by the Nuggets in the second round of the 1999 NBA Draft, the Dutch big man joined Denver after several years playing professionally in Europe and became a reliable frontcourt presence. During the 2005-06 season, Elson earned a larger role in Denver's rotation, starting 54 games while providing rebounding, defense, and interior size. After leaving Denver, he continued his NBA career and won a championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2007. With #56 having only one chapter in Denver Nuggets history, this jersey represents a rare and unique piece of franchise memorabilia.
