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.

That player would be Golden State wing alum Glenn Robinson III. After ending his college career at Michigan, Robinson was picked up with the 40th overall selection of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Gary, Indiana native would play the first 25 games of his pro career with the T-Wolves before he was cut by Minnesota. He also played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, and Detroit Pistons before he signed with the Dubs in 2019.

His stay with the team would span just 48 games before he would be dealt back to the Sixers in 2020. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Robinson wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 12.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.
