6:35 pm: The Warriors have waived Francis, Moni and McMillian, the team announced (Twitter link).
3:15 pm: The Warriors have officially confirmed Spencer’s two-way contract (Twitter link).
3:09 pm: Free agent point guard Pat Spencer is back under contract with the Warriors, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN, who reports (via Twitter) that Spencer signed a new two-way deal with the team on Monday.
Spencer, 29, spent parts of the last two seasons on a two-way deal with Golden State before being promoted to the standard 15-man roster in March. He appeared in 39 games for the Warriors in 2024/25, averaging 2.5 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 6.4 minutes per contest and posting a shooting line of .406/.227/.733.
With Spencer back under contract and second-rounder Alex Toohey officially signed earlier today, the Warriors now have all three of their two-way slots filled, as Spencer and Toohey join Jackson Rowe. The club still has a two-way qualifying offer on the table for Australian guard Taran Armstrong, but reporting from MozzartSport indicates Armstrong is in talks with the Serbian club KK Partizan.
If Armstrong signs with a non-NBA team, the Warriors would have the ability to continue issuing him qualifying offers in future seasons to retain his RFA rights — the club has done the same thing with Nico Mannion in recent years.
While the Warriors haven’t put out a formal press release confirming Spencer’s deal yet, the team did announce several other non-guaranteed signings today. Golden State published a press release (via Twitter) announcing deals for forwards Ja’Vier Francis and Jacksen Moni, along with guard Chance McMillian, then issued a second statement (via Twitter) to confirm it has also signed center Marques Bolden and guards LJ Cryer and Taevion Kinsey.
Golden State’s agreements with Francis, McMillian, Cryer, and Kinsey were previously reported. Moni is an undrafted rookie out of North Dakota State who played with San Antonio’s Summer League team in July, while Bolden is a three-year NBA veteran who has appeared in games for Cleveland, Charlotte, and Milwaukee since debuting in 2020. Bolden’s G League rights were acquired by the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s G League team, in August.
All six of those players figure to end up with Santa Cruz, either as affiliate players or returning rights players. They almost certainly all received Exhibit 10 contracts, which will make them eligible for bonuses worth up to $85,300 if they spend at least 60 days with the Warriors’ NBAGL squad.
The order of the signings is worth noting. After officially adding Gary Payton II and Will Richard earlier today, the Warriors had 11 players on their standard roster, which means Francis, Moni, and McMillian got them to 14. Teams aren’t permitted to sign contracts with Exhibit 9 language until they have at least 14 players on standard contracts, so those three players presumably didn’t get Exhibit 9 clauses, whereas Bolden, Cryer, and Kinsey probably did.
Since Exhibit 9 deals give teams injury protection in the event of an injury in training camp or the preseason, I’d expect Francis, Moni, and McMillian to be waived before they suit up in any preseason games for the Warriors, so that the team doesn’t risk a major injury that would require them to pay any of those players’ full salaries.
Golden State now officially has 20 players under contract, with Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, and Jonathan Kuminga still to sign, so some of those cuts figure to happen within the next day or two.
