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 18th of 28 players who wore the No. 12 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State forward alum David Wood. After ending his college career at Nevada, Wood would go unselected in the 1987 NBA draft, instead playing in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA — that era’s version of the G League) until he signed with the Chicago Bulls in 1988.
The Spokane, Washington native also played abroad, for the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, and Detroit Pistons before he signed with the Dubs in 1994. His stay with the team would span parts of two seasons before he was cut in 1996.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Wood wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
