Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 15 - Latrell Sprewell (1992-99)
The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
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 21st of 27 players who wore the No. 15 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Latrell Sprewell. After ending his college career at Alabama, Sprewell was picked up with the 24th overall selection of the 1992 NBA draft by the Warriors.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native would play the first six seasons of his pro career with the Dubs before he was dealt to the New York Knicks in 1999.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Sprewell wore only jersey No. 15 and put up 20.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Undrafted to unstoppable: Former Texas A&M guard helps lead Thunder to NBA glory
It is difficult to argue that there are players on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster more deserving than former Texas A&M guard Alex Caruso. The two-time National Basketball Association champion's contributions to the Thunder have played a key role in bringing home the first championship in franchise history to Oklahoma City. Caruso is selfless, unique and dependable among other things. As a result of his hard work on and off the court to become the best player and teammate possible, he is also undoubtedly a champion. "I think just through my career, I figured out that I can do stuff that's not necessarily sexy or not necessarily the mainstream offensive or even defensive skill set that people recognize," Caruso said, according to Kelly Iko of The Athletic. "I just leaned into it. I practiced being great at the stuff that nobody else does, carving a role for myself in the league. I think through the years, I've just kind of perfected that stuff." The College Station native played his collegiate ball with the hometown Aggies from 2012-2016, in which he racked up numerous accolades throughout his time in the Maroon and White uniform. Caruso was named the Southeastern Conference's Defensive Player of the Year by CBS Sports during his senior campaign. Following an outstanding college career, he signed with the Thunder as an undrafted free agent but was later waived by the team. After a stint with the team's G-League affiliate, Caruso's performances during the 2017 NBA Summer League with the Los Angeles Lakers earned him the franchise's first two-way contract, to become the first player to go from the G-League to the NBA. Fast forward three years, Caruso hoisted the 2020 NBA Championship trophy with teammates LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, Kyle Kuzma and many more. In 2025, he's now contributed and earned the right to be called champion once again. That also means that everyone can stop undermining his championship victory with the Lakers in 2020. Caruso expressed his feelings on the Thunder's victory over the Indiana Pacers and joked about his new "real" trophy following his second NBA title. While he made NBA history by recording the most steals by any bench player in the Finals (17), he also set a Texas A&M record by joining Walter "Buddy" Davis as the only Aggies with multiple NBA titles. When the hard work was complete, it took a veteran like Caruso to teach OKC's rookies how to pop the bottles of champagne and celebrate as champions should. Make no mistake about it, Caruso's success was well-earned. It comes from being unique in his game and constantly honing his craft. Working on the small details has become his specialty, but winning championships seems to be in his skill set as well.

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's 2-word post after Kevin Durant trade
The post Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's 2-word post after Kevin Durant trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Houston Rockets stole the show on the day of Game 7 of the NBA Finals, swinging a massive trade for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. In exchange, the Suns got Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 overall pick in the NBA Draft and a handful of second-rounders in return. Advertisement As expected, the deal sent shockwaves through the NBA world, and everyone was put on notice. After the deal was announced, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo took to social media to announce his instant reaction. 'Oh oh,' Antetokounmpo wrote on X, formerly Twitter. First things first, Antetokounmpo likely is thrilled to see trade news that doesn't involve himself. There was a firestorm of rumors and discussion about whether the two-time league MVP would still be in Milwaukee next season after his Bucks lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Indiana Pacers, who will play for the title on Sunday night. After another early exit and the crippling Achilles injury to Damian Lillard, nobody would have blamed Antetokounmpo for thanking the Bucks for everything and trying to move on to a team that has a better chance of contending for a title in the immediate future. Advertisement However, despite all the rumors, it doesn't seem like that will be the case and everything is trending toward him staying put. That was never the case with Durant, who has been headed for a trade for most of the last year. Nothing worked out for Durant in Phoenix last season as the Suns struggled in every which way, flaming out without even reaching the play-in out West. Antetokounmpo is also probably happy to see Durant staying in the Western Conference, leaving the East without much star power compared to its loaded conference counterpart. Durant immediately turns the Rockets into a title contender if they are healthy next season, but the Bucks wouldn't have to deal with that until at least the NBA Finals.

Bucks' Pat Connaughton makes $9.4 million decision for 2025-26 season
The post Bucks' Pat Connaughton makes $9.4 million decision for 2025-26 season appeared first on ClutchPoints. Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton has exercised his $9.4 million player option for the 2025–26 season, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The decision ensures the veteran will return for an eighth season with the Bucks and his 11th overall in the NBA. Advertisement Connaughton, 32, appeared in 41 games during the 2024–25 campaign, averaging 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. He played 14.7 minutes per contest while serving as a key reserve in the Bucks' rotation, often providing energy off the bench and spacing on the perimeter. Originally drafted by the Brooklyn Nets in 2015 before being traded on draft night to Portland, Connaughton spent three seasons with the Trail Blazers before joining the Bucks in 2018. His arrival in Milwaukee marked the start of a steady run as a rotation piece, highlighted by his contributions to the team's 2021 NBA championship. Pat Connaughton's return gives Bucks veteran continuity as team enters pivotal offseason Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The Notre Dame product has built a reputation as a dependable two-way player with strong locker room presence. His athleticism, shooting touch, and ability to guard multiple positions have made him a trusted option for several Bucks coaches across multiple playoff runs. Advertisement Connaughton's decision to opt into the final year of his contract gives Milwaukee a degree of roster certainty heading into an important offseason. After a disappointing first-round exit to the Indiana Pacers and the lingering injury recovery of Damian Lillard, the Bucks are expected to explore ways to reshape their roster around Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Under head coach Doc Rivers, now entering his second full season with the team, Connaughton's veteran presence offers valuable continuity. The Bucks continue to emphasize experienced depth to support their championship aspirations. Connaughton's $9.4 million salary is the final year of the three-year deal he signed in 2022. With the option exercised, he remains under contract through the conclusion of the 2025–26 season.
