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.

That player would be Golden State forward alum Andre Spencer. After ending his college career at Northern Arizona University, Spencer would go unselected in the 1986 NBA draft, instead playing abroad or in other domestic leagues until he signed with the Atlanta Hawks in 1992.
The Stockton, California native would sign with the Dubs in 1993 for his next NBA gig, his stay spanning just 22 games over two seasons, ending when he was cut early in the second season.

During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Spencer wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.
