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.
