Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 20 Dell Demps (1993)
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 14th of 29 players who wore the No. 20 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State guard alum Dell Demps. After ending his college career at University of the Pacific, Demps would go unselected in the 1992 NBA Draft, instead playing abroad and in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA -- that era's version of the G League) until he signed with Golden State Warriors in 1993.
His stay with the team would span just two games before he'd bead back overseas to play.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Demps wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 2.0 points and 1.0 steals per game.

Who is new Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon?
The new owner of the Portland Trail Blazers is already familiar with the colors black and red. Tom Dundon, the owner of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes, reached an agreement Wednesday, Aug. 13 to purchase the Trail Blazers from the estate of Paul Allen. The sale price was not available as of early Wednesday afternoon. CNBC, which provides valuations of NBA franchises, listed the franchise at $3.65 billion in its most recent list. Since Allen's death in 2018, his sister, Jody Allen, became the executor and trustee of the estate and therefore the chairperson of the Trail Blazers and NFL's Seattle Seahawks. Paul Allen's estate had dictated that the majority of his wealth be donated to philanthropy. In May 2025, the estate formally put the Blazers up for sale. Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft alongside Bill Gates, had owned the Trail Blazers since 1988. Here's everything you need to know about new Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon. Who is Tom Dundon? Dundon, 53, is a billionaire businessman who is the co-founder and chairman of Dallas-based private investment firm Dundon Capital Partners. He's also the co-founder and chairman of Southpaw Capital Partners. Born in New York and raised in Dallas, Dundon graduated from Southern Methodist in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in economics. His investments have spanned sports and entertainment, to real estate, healthcare, hospitality, tech and automotive and financial services. His first big break in the business landscape came in 1997, when he and a collection of partners formed a car financing corporation that became Santander Consumer USA. Dundon eventually rose to become the company's chairman and CEO. In 2015, Dundon stepped aside from that role and formed Dundon Capital Partners. He's also the majority owner of a Dallas-based real estate company called Pacific Elm Properties and is an investor in Topgolf Callaway Brands and Pickleball Inc. Dundon is also active in several Dallas-area charities and launched the Dundon Family Charitable Fund, which focuses on academic and athletic initiatives at several universities. When did Tom Dundon buy the Carolina Hurricanes? In 2017, Dundon's name surfaced in sales discussions to purchase the Hurricanes from previous longtime owner Peter Karmanos Jr. In January 2018, Dundon completed the sale and became the majority owner of the team. At the time, per Forbes, Dundon purchased 61% of the franchise's shares for $420 million. That included operating rights to the Lenovo Center (previously PNC Arena), the arena in Raleigh, North Carolina where the Hurricanes play. Then, in June 2021, Dundon purchased the remaining shares to become the sole owner and proprietor of the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes ended a nine-season playoff drought in his first full season of ownership and have made the postseason in all seven seasons. They have reached the Eastern Conference finals three times, including last season. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Portland Trail Blazers get new owner: Who is Tom Dundon?

Hoyas Dominate Japan, 88-53, in GLOBL JAM Behind Harris-Smith's Near Triple-Double
Team USA, proudly represented by your Georgetown Hoyas, made a powerful statement in their opening game of the GLOBL JAM tournament, dismantling the Japanese national team in a commanding 88-53 victory on Wednesday afternoon. From the opening tip at the Mattamy Athletic Centre, Coach Ed Cooley's squad revealed a potent blend of physical dominance, defensive intensity, and selfless ball movement that left their opponents struggling to keep pace. While the game was not televised, there were glimpses from the box score, play-by-play, and some live video via Caleb Williams' father. The tone for the game was set early and decisively. The Hoyas exploded out of the gate, establishing a formidable 52-25 lead by halftime. This wasn't a game that was ever in doubt; it was a 40-minute clinic on how to control a basketball game on both ends of the floor. The second half started with a 12-0 run from Georgetown and finished with a comfortable fourth quarter where the bench saw playing time. The final score of 88-53 reflected a performance that should put the rest of the tournament field on notice. The Darris Harris-Smith Show While the victory was a complete team effort, the day belonged to sophomore guard Darris Harris-Smith. In a performance that showcased his all-around brilliance and immense value to this Hoyas roster, Harris-Smith flirted with a triple-double, finishing with a masterful stat line of 19 points (8-11 FG), 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals in just under 32 minutes of play. Harris-Smith was the engine that drove the Hoyas' attack. He was remarkably efficient, shooting an impressive 8 for 11 from the field. Whether he was driving to the basket for a score, finding open teammates, or crashing the defensive glass, he consistently looked to be the most active player on the court. A Story Told by the Numbers A look at the final team statistics reveals the anatomy of this dominant performance. The most glaring disparity came from inside the arc, where Georgetown's size and athleticism were simply overwhelming. Dominance in the Paint: The Hoyas outscored Japan 52-14 in the paint. This staggering 38-point advantage was the central theme of the game. They consistently attacked the rim, leading to high-percentage shots. Shooting Efficiency: This interior dominance resulted in a highly efficient offensive outing. The Hoyas shot 55% from the field (36/65) and an even better 65% on two-point attempts (30/46). In stark contrast, Japan struggled against Georgetown's length and defensive pressure, shooting just 30% from the field (19/63) and 23% from beyond the arc (9/38). Defensive Tenacity Creates Offense: Georgetown's defense was suffocating. They forced 17 turnovers and converted them into 28 points. They also controlled the transition game, outscoring Japan 21-5 in fast-break points. This ability to turn defensive stops into quick, easy baskets prevented Japan from ever settling into an offensive rhythm. Controlling the Glass: The Hoyas won the rebounding battle 42-31, limiting Japan's second-chance opportunities and securing possessions to fuel their own attack. The ball movement was another bright spot. The team registered 24 assists on 36 made field goals, a testament to the unselfish, team-first brand of basketball that Cooley is instilling. A Balanced and Potent Attack Beyond Harris-Smith's heroics, this was a truly balanced victory with key contributions from across the roster. Five Hoyas scored in double figures, showcasing the depth of their offensive talent. Malik Mack (game captain) was the steady hand at point guard, orchestrating the offense with poise. He finished with 11 points and 5 assists while impressively committing only one turnover. The frontcourt asserted its will all afternoon. Center/forward Julius Halaifonua was exceptionally efficient, scoring 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. Forward Isaiah Abraham added 10 points and 2 blocks, providing a strong interior presence. The fifth starter, Caleb Williams, had 8 points on 3-7 FG (2-5 3PT), but was +40 in the +/- column. Off the bench, Jayden Fort was a significant spark plug, pouring in 10 points in 23 minutes of action. Prized transfer center Vince Iwuchukwu (7 points, 3-13 FG) made his presence felt on the defensive end, grabbing 6 rebounds and leading the team with 2 blocks. A Strong First Impression This victory serves as a fantastic start to the Hoyas' international competition in Canada. While it is just one game, the cohesion, defensive identity, and offensive execution on display were all incredibly positive signs. From what fans saw, the team played with a purpose and an edge that bodes well not only for the remainder of the GLOBL JAM but for the upcoming NCAA season. This was more than just a win; it was a statement of intent. The Hoyas demonstrated that they are a physical, long, and talented group ready to embrace the system and culture being built by Cooley. They will look to carry this momentum forward as the tournament continues with a 6PM game (ESPN+) against Canada on Thursday.
