Warriors lose guard Pat Spencer to Suns on two-way deal

Pat Spencer has signed a two-way contract with the Phoenix Suns after spending two seasons with the Golden State Warriors. The 30-year-old guard averaged 7.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 66 games last season for Golden State. Spencer, who has shown improvement in his time with the Warriors, became known for his energy and scoring ability, although he struggled with consistency on defense. His departure comes as the Warriors recently re-signed De'Anthony Melton, who is expected to take on a bigger role next season. It remains uncertain whether the Warriors made a competing offer to retain Spencer.
