Golden State Warriors have made a significant move by converting Pat Spencer to a standard NBA contract, solidifying his role for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Spencer's performance has been modest, averaging 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in limited minutes. This contract makes him playoff-eligible as the Warriors currently sit at the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. In a corresponding move, the Warriors have signed forward Braxton Key to a two-way contract, who had an impressive run in the G League.

Spencer is looking toward his restricted free agency this offseason, while Key aims to prove himself at the NBA level after a solid G League performance. The Warriors are banking on these moves to enhance their playoff prospects and provide depth as they gear up for postseason play.
