Warriors Upgrade G Pat Spencer to NBA Deal for Rest of Season
Pat Spencer earned a full roster spot after reaching the two-way game limit and a career-high 20-point game while the Warriors also consider adding Lonzo Ball via buyout.
- Saturday, the Golden State Warriors converted two-way guard Pat Spencer to a standard contract after he exhausted the 50-game limit, reported NBA insider Jake Fischer.
- With trade-deadline roster spots, the Warriors converted Spencer, an undrafted player who gave up lacrosse, after reaching the 50-game two-way limit, reported by league sources.
- During a five-game stretch Spencer averaged 15.2 points and 5.4 assists, with a season three-point rate of 1.8 attempts per game at 43.1%.
- By converting Spencer, the Warriors secured a rotation piece who can 'win you games,' according to coach Steve Kerr, supporting the immediate roster move.
- Ball still offers defensive instincts and playmaking upside, but his recent struggles and guard-heavy roster tradeoffs complicate long-term roster planning for the Warriors.
