The Golden State Warriors have converted guard Pat Spencer’s two-way contract into a standard deal for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, his agency told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Saturday, Feb. 7.
This marks the second straight year the 27-year-old has earned a promotion. Last April the Warriors elevated Spencer before the playoffs, and he contributed 36 points across 63 postseason minutes.
Spencer re-signed on a two-way pact the day before this season’s training camp after falling short of a guaranteed offer elsewhere. The move has paid off for Golden State: he has appeared in 36 games, starting five, and has routinely filled in when Stephen Curry is unavailable, providing additional playmaking and scoring.
On Thursday in Phoenix, Spencer logged 32 minutes, scored 20 points and reached his 50th active game of the season—the maximum allowed for two-way players. Without a roster conversion, he would have been ineligible for Saturday night’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Warriors opened a roster spot Wednesday by trading Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield and Trayce Jackson-Davis for Kristaps Porziņģis, leaving one vacancy. Spencer now occupies the 14th slot, while league sources say free-agent guard Lonzo Ball is among the candidates for the final spot, interest first reported by NBA reporter Jake Fischer.
