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 Anthony Lamb. After ending his college career at Vermont, Lamb went unselected in the 2020 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the Houston Rockets in 2021.
The Rochester, New York native played the first 24 games of his NBA career with Houston. He also played for the San Antonio Spurs and in other leagues before he signed with the Dubs for the final season of his NBA career.
