Spencer ended with 16 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 loss to the 76ers.
Spencer played a big role off the bench for a second straight game, taking full advantage of his chances on the offensive end. He's put up double figures in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and with Stephen Curry (quad) expected to miss at least two more matchups, Spencer should remain involved in Golden State's rotation.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Puts on show
Rotowire
Spencer amassed 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 loss to the Thunder.
The final box score for Spencer wasn't amazing, but it was a sight to see him go toe-to-toe with Oklahoma City. Playing without Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and Jimmy Butler, who didn't return for the second half due to knee soreness, it was Spencer who sank big shots down the stretch to help his team erase a 22-point deficit. It's hard to tell if coach Steve Kerr will elevate Spencer in the rotation, but he certainly made a statement with his 17-point, six-assist performance Tuesday night.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Fares well in blowout
Rotowire
Spencer supplied 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to the Thunder.
Spencer isn't always a consistent part of the rotation for Golden State, but he stepped up in garbage time for a season-high 12 points. He's safe to ignore in most formats until he strings a few more games like these together.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Could see more time against Kings
Rotowire
Spencer chipped in seven points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 victory over Phoenix.
Stephen Curry (illness) and Jimmy Butler (back) are unlikely to play against the Kings, and coach Steve Kerr gave Spencer some time on the floor in anticipation of a larger role against the Kings. Over three seasons with the Warriors, the perennial backup's impact has been negligible.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: All-around outing in loss
Rotowire
Spencer put up nine points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists, five rebounds and a steal across 20 minutes in Friday's 106-103 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Spencer likely won't crack the Warriors' rotation to begin the regular season and will probably spend time with the team's G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors. However, with injuries to De'Anthony Melton (knee) and Moses Moody (calf), there is a chance Spencer may be able to play if more injuries occur.

Pat Spencer: Will be unrestricted free agent
Rotowire
The Warriors declined to extend a qualifying offer for Spencer on Sunday, Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
That will make Spencer an unrestricted free agent, which will allow him to explore his options and sign with a team in need of guard depth. After playing in just six regular-season games in 2023-24, Spencer enjoyed more run with the Warriors during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 2.5 points, 1.2 assists and 1.2 rebounds over 6.4 minutes per contest across 39 regular-season games.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Sees six minutes
Rotowire
Spencer produced two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over six minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Spencer, who had his two-way deal upgraded to a one-year contract back in March, was a standout player in the G League for most of the season. He did make 39 appearances at the NBA level, however, posting averages of 2.5 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 6.4 minutes while shooting 40.6 percent from the field. Spencer will turn 29 in July and is set to hit restricted free agency.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Ejected from Game 5
Rotowire
Spencer was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. He'll finish the contest with 11 points (5-7 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 14 minutes.
Spencer's Game 5 ends a few minutes before the final buzzer, as he got ejected for headbutting Alperen Sengun after Sengun and Trayce Jackson-Davis exchanged words. Spencer didn't see the court in Games 3 and 4, but the lopsided nature of Wednesday's game allowed for Spencer to see some extended action.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Sees 12 minutes
Rotowire
Spencer recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler forced to leave this contest after eight minutes with a pelvic contusion and Brandin Podziemski battling an illness, several players including Spencer and Jonathan Kuminga were asked to step up. Spencer's role was much smaller than Kuminga's, however, and he did play the final few minutes of garbage time in this blowout as well. If Butler is able to play in Game 3, Spencer likely won't see the floor.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Gets standard deal
Rotowire
Golden State converted Spencer's two-way contract to a standard deal Tuesday, NBA reporter Jake Fischer reports.
Spencer has largely been outside of the rotation this season, but he appeared in 10 of the Warriors' last 12 games and averaged 3.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 7.3 minutes per game over that span. Now that he's been moved up to the 15-man roster, Spencer will be eligible to play in every game for the rest of the regular season and playoffs.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Gets two-way deal from Golden State
Rotowire
Spencer agreed Wednesday with the Warriors on a two-way contract, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
He'll join Jerome Robinson and Usman Garuba as two-way players for Golden State, stepping in as a replacement for Lester Quinones, who was upgraded to a standard NBA contract. Spencer, 27, has been a member of the Warriors' G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, for both of the past two seasons. The combo guard is averaging 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 23.2 minutes per game over 27 appearances for Santa Cruz in 2023-24 while shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three-point range.
