After reaching the 50-game limit afforded to two-way-contract players after the Golden State Warriors’ win over the Phoenix Suns, Pat Spencer has been signed to a standard contract by the Warriors, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Spencer has proven himself to be a stable backup point guard option for Steve Kerr, with season averages of 5.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists on 14.4 minutes per game.
This is the second season in a row that Spencer’s two-way contract has been converted to a standard roster contract, the difference being that his contract was last season was converted prior to the start of the playoffs. Spencer will take up one of two roster spots freed by the Jonathan Kuminga/Buddy Hield swap for Kristaps Porziņģis trade and Trayce Jackson-Davis being shipped to the Toronto Raptors for a second-round pick.
The last spot will be left open for the time being, possibly to make room for a player on the buyout market.
