Warriors sign guard Pat Spencer to two-way contract originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
It didn’t take long for the Warriors to fill one of their open two-way roster spots.
After Golden State converted guard Lester Quiñones’s two-way deal into a standard NBA contract on Tuesday, the Warriors signed G League guard Pat Spencer to a two-way contract, The Athletic’s Anthony Slater first reported Wednesday before the move was made official Thursday afternoon.
The 27-year-old Spencer spent the 2021-22 season with the Capital City Go-Go, the Washington Wizards‘ G League affiliate, before joining the Santa Cruz Warriors for the 2022-23 season.
In 18 games (two starts) with the Sea Dubs this season, Spencer is averaging 15.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game on 49.5-percent shooting from the field and 43.1 percent from 3-point range in 27.4 minutes on the court.
Spencer, interestingly enough, is a former lacrosse star from Loyola University Maryland and is widely regarded as one of the all-time great college lacrosse players.
Pat Spencer, one of the greatest college lacrosse players ever, today signed a two way NBA contract with Golden State. In his lacrosse career he was #1 all time in assists, #2 all time in points to Lyle Thompson. His brother Cam, is a star guard on #1 UCONN. Cool story. https://t.co/Uv0FQ5uxHr
