Spencer agreed to a two-way deal with the Suns on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Spencer spent the last three seasons with the Warriors. While the 29-year-old didn't see consistent action for Golden State over the years, he is still coming off his best season, averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 40.0 percent from deep over 29.6 minutes in 14 regular-season starts. Spencer could get on the floor for the Suns occasionally during the 2026-27 campaign, though he is expected to spend most of his time in the G League.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Positive step in third season
Rotowire
Spencer chipped in two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns.
Spencer was a healthy DNP for Wednesday's win over the Clippers before being limited to garbage-time burn in Friday's loss. The Northwestern product enjoyed a productive third season in the NBA, averaging career highs in minutes (18.6), points (7.2), assists (3.5) and rebounds (2.4). Spencer enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and will certainly look to join a team who can promise him more consistent playing time.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Spencer will start Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Will Richard (back) was a late scratch ahead of tipoff, opening the door for Spencer to draw his first start since March 7. As a starter this season (12 games), he has averaged 11.2 points, 5.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Plays well in limited run
Rotowire
Spencer closed with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 16 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Cavaliers.
Although Spencer made the most of his limited run Thursday, his window for fantasy appeal in deeper formats may be closing -- Stephen Curry (knee) is targeting a return Sunday against Houston. Spencer has averaged 9.5 points, 3.9 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 22.4 minutes over his last eight games.
Spencer totaled 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-110 loss to Atlanta.
Spencer gave the Warriors as spark off the bench, leading the reserves in points while finishing as the team's third-leading scorer behind De'Anthony Melton (20 points) and Nate Williams (19 points). Spencer has been a steady contributor for the Warriors this season, even more so as of late due to the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). Spencer has scored in double digits in three of his last four games and has averaged 12.0 points, 2.8 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 threes over 22.5 minutes in that span.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Spencer registered 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 125-117 win over Washington.
This was a decent showing for Spencer, but he remains a low-end fantasy asset despite the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). Over his last seven games, Spencer is averaging 8.6 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.1 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Productive off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Spencer registered 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime loss to the Bulls.
Spencer posted his best scoring performance since Feb. 9, when he also scored 17 points in a win over the Grizzlies. However, it's hard to trust Spencer in fantasy right now. Aside from playing regularly off the bench, with just one start in his last seven outings, he's averaging 7.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game since the All-Star break. Those numbers aren't attractive outside of the very deep formats, and even in that scenario, he'd be worth adding merely as a streaming option until Stephen Curry (knee) is cleared to return.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Not starting Monday
Rotowire
Spencer is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Jazz, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Spencer started Sunday's contest with De'Anthony Melton sidelined due to a knee injury but will return to a reserve role Monday. In 35 games off the bench this season, Spencer is averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per contest, though he has logged 20-plus minutes in 11 of his past 13 appearances.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Spencer will start Saturday's game against the Thunder.
With De'Anthony Melton (knee) unavailable, Spencer will get the starting nod in Oklahoma City. As a starter this season (11 games), the 29-year-old guard has averaged 11.4 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 28.2 minutes per game.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Playing steady minutes
Rotowire
Spencer posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.
Spencer should be able to hang onto a meaningful role until the Warriors finally clear Stephen Curry (knee) to return. Over his past five appearances, Spencer has still averaged just 6.4 points, 5.4 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Near double-double off bench
Rotowire
Spencer totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 victory over Memphis.
Spencer was moved to the Warriors' bench after struggling in his most recent starts, and the move appeared to pay off as he finished one assist shy from recording his second double-double of the season. It's unclear whether his shift to the bench is permanent, but Wednesday's performance shows that the third-year pro can be productive in whatever role he's in, at least for as long as Stephen Curry (knee) is sidelined.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Spencer is not in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Spencer has started in each of the Warriors' last seven games, though he has failed to score double-digit points over his last four outings and has connected on just 32.1 percent of his field-goal attempts in that span. With Spencer coming off the bench, Golden State will roll with a starting five of Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, Moses Moody, Gui Santos and Al Horford on Wednesday.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Tough showing in win
Rotowire
Spencer ended Sunday's 128-117 win over the Nuggets with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five assists and one steal in 19 minutes.
Spencer has posted a couple of rough lines for the Warriors, making him a shaky fantasy asset even in the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). If his fantasy managers want to keep rolling the dice, the Warriors do have a back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Solid numbers in win
Rotowire
Spencer registered 17 points (8-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 114-113 win over the Grizzlies.
Spencer tallied double-digit points for the fourth straight game, continuing to thrive in the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). During that span, he has averaged 16.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.0 three-pointers. Curry has been ruled out through the All-Star break, meaning Spencer should be rostered in all leagues until Curry is cleared to get back on the floor.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Very productive in loss
Rotowire
Spencer accumulated 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 loss to the Lakers.
After signing a standard contract with the team for the rest of the season, Spencer could be in line for games like this on a consistent basis. Over his last three games, he's averaging 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.7 made threes . While Stephen Curry recovers from a knee injury, Spencer could assume lead backcourt duties for Golden State.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Signs standard contract
Rotowire
The Warriors converted Spencer's two-way deal to a standard NBA contract Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Spencer has emerged as a key piece of the Warriors rotation this season and is coming off a career-best performance in the team's win over the Suns on Thursday, when he recorded 20 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 32 minutes. He's already been active for the maximum 50 games allotted to two-way players, but now that he's playing under a standard contract, he will be eligible to play in Saturday's contest against the Lakers. With Stephen Curry (knee) set to miss Saturday's contest, expect Spencer to start at point guard and play hefty minutes under his new deal.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Scores career-high 20 in spot start
Rotowire
Spencer recorded 20 points (6-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 101-97 victory over the Suns.
With Stephen Curry (knee) unavailable, Spencer moved into the starting five and not only led the Warriors in scoring, but he also produced a career high in points. The third-year guard has seen significant court time in three of the last five games (two starts) while Curry's been sidelined, averaging 14.3 points, 5.0 boards, 4.3 assists, 3.7 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 30.7 minutes in those outings, but he played a total of only 12 minutes in the other two contests. Spencer is signed to a two-way deal for the Warriors, and because he's now been active for the maximum 50 games at the NBA level this season, Golden State will need to convert him to a standard contract in order for him to be eligible to play again in 2025-26.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Making rare start Thursday
Rotowire
Spencer is starting Thursday's game against the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Spencer will draw just his fifth start of the 2025-26 campaign as the team will be without the services of Stephen Curry (knee). Spencer has scored in double figures in all four of his previous starts this year, so he'll have a shot to provide a scoring boost again Thursday evening.
