The Golden State Warriors have a storied history dating back to their founding in 1946, with over 600 players donning 60 different jersey numbers. Among them, the No. 12 jersey was worn by 28 players, the last of whom was Braxton Key. Key, after a college tenure at Virginia, went undrafted in 2020 but made his way through teams like the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons before joining the Warriors in 2025. His time with the Warriors was brief, appearing in just three games and averaging 1.0 points per game while wearing the No. 12 jersey.

Golden State Warriors have made a significant move by converting Pat Spencer to a standard NBA contract, solidifying his role for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Spencer's performance has been modest, averaging 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in limited minutes. This contract makes him playoff-eligible as the Warriors currently sit at the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. In a corresponding move, the Warriors have signed forward Braxton Key to a two-way contract, who had an impressive run in the G League.

Spencer is looking toward his restricted free agency this offseason, while Key aims to prove himself at the NBA level after a solid G League performance. The Warriors are banking on these moves to enhance their playoff prospects and provide depth as they gear up for postseason play.
