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.

NBA's new TV deal: What it means for Spurs fans
The NBA released the 2025–26 schedule Thursday — and the Spurs landed 22 nationally televised games, including Opening Week and Christmas Day slots. Why it matters: This is the debut season of the NBA's new 11-year media rights deal with NBCUniversal, Amazon and ESPN, which reshuffles who shows what and when. It also marks the end of "NBA on TNT" after 36 seasons. By the numbers: The Knicks, Thunder and Lakers top the league with 34 nationally televised or streamed games each. In Texas, the Rockets (28) and Mavericks (23) each have more national matchups than the Spurs, according to Front Office Sports. State of play: The Spurs have two marquee matchups. Opening Week vs. standout rookie Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks on Oct 22 (ESPN). Christmas Day vs. the Thunder (ABC and ESPN) — one of the league's most coveted regular-season slots. How it works: The nationally televised schedule varies by day of the week. Mondays: Peacock Tuesdays: NBC/Peacock Wednesdays: ESPN Thursdays: Prime Fridays: Prime and ESPN Saturdays: Prime (afternoon games) and ABC/ESPN App (night games) What they're saying: Fans are still figuring out the changes.

Thunder rookie Thomas Sorber will wear new jersey number in the NBA
Your 2025 Thunder Draft Class 📸 After wearing the same jersey number in college and high school, Thomas Sorber will have a new look to begin his career in the NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sorber wore No. 35 for three years at Archbishop Ryan High School in Pennsylvania and Georgetown last season as a freshman. Instead of keeping it in the NBA, Sorber opted to change to No. 12 upon joining the Thunder as the 15th pick in the 2025 NBA draft. The 19-year-old is the first Thunder player to wear No. 12 since Lindy Waters III (2022-2024). Other players who have donned it include Steven Adams, Nenad Krstić and Darius Miller. Sorber was an All-Big East third-team selection last season, averaging 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals on 53.2% shooting from the field. He became the first Hoya since Markel Starks (2012-13) to earn all-conference third-team recognition. The 6-foot-10 center didn't play with the team in summer league after undergoing surgery in February for a turf toe injury that limited him to 24 games with the Hoyas. He is expected to be ready to participate in training camp next month. Sorber was highly touted out of Georgetown after establishing himself as a dominant threat in the paint, either as a roller or back-to-the-basket scorer. The team was eager to add him in the draft and is excited to see him take the court next season. Note: Throughout August, Rookie Wire is looking at every first-round pick and why each player selected their respective jersey number as they make the jump to the NBA. Previous: Cooper Flagg | Dylan Harper | VJ Edgecombe | Kon Knueppel | Ace Bailey | Tre Johnson | Jeremiah Fears | Egor Dёmin | Collin Murray-Boyles | Khaman Maluach | Cedric Coward | Noa Essengue | Derik Queen | Carter Bryant

NBA considers Bucks, Pacers as Thunder rivalries for 2025-26 Rivals Week
It's August, which means the NBA has released its 2025-26 regular season schedule. In one of the more fun days of the league's calendar, all 30 teams learned when and where they'll play their opponents in the upcoming campaign. The Oklahoma City Thunder learned that they'll be a household name. The schedule-makers have rewarded the NBA champions with 34 national television games. That's tied for the most in the league with the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks. Not bad for a small market. The Thunder had one of the greatest seasons the NBA has ever seen the past year. They had a historic 68-14 regular-season record, which featured the league record for point differential at a plus-12.9. The Thunder will be involved for Opening Night and Christmas. They'll also be included in the NBA's Rivals Week. To add intrigue during an otherwise mundane part of the season, the league has branded the Jan. 20-24 period as when rivals clash. The Thunder have two of their games highlighted during the event. Surprisingly, though, they're against teams that most fans would hardly consider as rivals. The two opponents left many confused as the NBA branded them as an OKC nemesis. The Thunder will travel to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, Jan. 21. The 8:30 p.m. CT tipoff will be broadcast on ESPN. The Thunder will then host the Indiana Pacers on Friday, Jan. 23. The 8:30 p.m. CT tipoff will be broadcast on Amazon Prime. Maybe you can spin some angles. The Thunder lost to the Bucks in the 2024 NBA Cup finals. On the flip side, they defeated the Pacers in seven games in the 2025 NBA Finals to capture the championship. Perhaps rematches for both prestigious matchups are enough to warrant being part of the NBA's Rivals Week despite zero bad blood. Even if you believed that, most fans won't buy it. The more likely explanation is that the NBA tried to include the Thunder in their week-long event and couldn't figure out the logistics to do it against a team that's actually considered a rival or, at the very least, in the same conference.
