The Warriors have officially converted **Pat Spencer**‘s two-way contract into a standard deal, per NBA.com’s transactions log.
The 6’2″ point guard is now eligible to play the rest of regular season. Spencer is playoff-eligible as well, which wasn’t the case on his two-way deal.
A former lacrosse star at Loyola Maryland who didn’t play college basketball until he was a 23-year-old graduate student at Northwestern, Spencer is having a career year in his third season with Golden State, averaging 5.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds on .423/.431/.833 shooting in 36 games (14.4 MPG).
Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reported earlier on Saturday that Golden State was working to promote Spencer, who scored a career-high 20 points and knocked down a career-best six three-pointers in Thursday’s win at Phoenix (story via Kalyb Champion of the team’s website). Thursday marked Spencer’s 50th active game of the season, which is the limit for two-way players.
