The Golden State Warriors are signing two-way guard Pat Spencer to a standard NBA contract for the remainder of the season, according to reports from ESPN.
The move was confirmed by Mark Bartelstein and Ross Aroyo of Priority Sports, who represent Spencer. The 27-year-old guard has been a consistent presence within the organization, previously playing on a two-way deal that split his time between the NBA roster and the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League.
By converting Spencer to a standard contract, the Warriors bolster their backcourt depth and ensure the guard's eligibility for the upcoming postseason. Spencer has gained recognition for his unique path to the NBA, having been a premier college lacrosse player at Loyola Maryland before transitioning to basketball as a graduate student at Northwestern.
This roster move allows Golden State to fill a spot on their 15-man roster as they prepare for the final stretch of the regular season and a potential playoff run in the Western Conference. Spencer has impressed the coaching staff with his playmaking ability and defensive versatility during his tenure with the franchise.
