Curry and Kerr Back Pat Spencer as Warriors Rethink Offense and Face Roster Decision

Golden State faces a roster call on the two-way guard whose pick-and-roll creation is reshaping the offense.

Overview

  • Steve Kerr credited Spencer with changing the team’s rhythm by adding a reliable pick-and-roll threat, citing his decision-making and shot creation.
  • Team data showed the Warriors ran about 78 pick-and-rolls per game over the last four contests with Spencer initiating roughly 31% of them, a notable shift from their typical style.
  • Stephen Curry praised Spencer’s poise and said playing off the ball next to him should be seamless, with Curry expected to return against Minnesota.
  • Spencer delivered efficient production during Curry’s absence, including 13.6 points per game on 59.6% shooting and 66.7% from three over a recent stretch.
  • Spencer remains on a two-way deal limited to 50 games and ineligible for the playoffs without a conversion, and the full 15-man roster leaves the front office weighing how to create a spot.
