Denver Nuggets road jersey issued for use by Dikembe Mutombo during the 1992-93 season. This jersey was never worn by Mutombo, but the reason he never wore it is directly related to its provenance. The jersey has been consigned directly by the former Manager of Team Operations for Champion, the company that produced the uniforms for the Nuggets. As he explains in his accompanying letter of provenance, the NBA requested Champion to make a additional jerseys for Mutombo, in the event that one was lost, stolen, or damaged. This is one of those extras, that was held by our consignor at the Champion facilities. After the season, when it was no longer needed, he retained it as a souvenir, and it has been in his possession since that time. It must be noted that the offered jersey is identical to the ones worn by Mutombo during the 1992-93 season, making it an affordable example for budget-conscious Mutombo collectors.

The blue mesh jersey is lettered "Nuggets" across the front and features the number "55" on the left breast and reverse. "Mutombo" is lettered on the reverse above the number. All front letters are applied in white and gold silk screen, while all reverse letters are applied in gold tackle twill. The numerals are all applied in white on gold tackle twill, with blue stitching. Located on the front left tail are a "Champion 48" label and a second Champion label reading in part: "1992-93 Designed & Tailored Exclusively for Denver Nuggets Body Length +4." The jersey is original as issued and shows no use. Together with a letter of provenance from the consignor.
