The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 27th of 28 players who wore the No. 12 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State big man alum Usman Garuba. After starting his pro career abroad, Garuba was picked up with the 23rd overall selection of the 2021 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets.
The Azuqueca de Henares, Spain native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Rockets, signing with Golden State in 2023. His stay with the team would span a single season, his last in the NBA.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Garuba wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 1.2 rebounds per game.
