Overview
- Golden State officially elevated two-way guard Pat Spencer to a standard contract for the rest of the season at the prorated veteran minimum, making him playoff-eligible.
- The promotion fills the 14th roster slot after deadline moves that brought in Kristaps Porziņģis and leaves one open spot on the 15-man roster.
- League sources, first reported by Jake Fischer, say the Warriors are evaluating free agent Lonzo Ball for that vacancy after Utah waived him following a three-team trade.
- Chris Haynes reported multiple teams have requested Ball’s medical records due to his knee history, and no signing has been finalized.
- Ball struggled with the Cavaliers this season, averaging 4.6 points on 30.1% shooting and 27.2% from three, and the Nuggets have also been identified as a suitor.
