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 sixth of eight players who wore the No. 50 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State big man alum Felton Spencer. After ending his college career at Louisville, Spencer was picked up with the sixth overall selection of the 1990 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Louisville, Kentucky native played the first three seasons of his pro career with Minnesota. He also played for the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic before he was dealt to the Dubs in 1996. His stay with the team lasted until he signed
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Spencer wore only jersey No. 50 and put up 3.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
