The NBA world has witnessed plenty of brother duos on the court. Starting from the Warriors’ family, Stephen Curry has locked horns with his brother, Seth Curry multiple times on the court. Moreover, we have even witnessed a cousin matchup as well between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. In that lineup, we have come across two players with the same surnames taking on each other on Saturday night basketball between the Grizzlies and Warriors.
It’s none other than Cam Spencer and Pat Spencer. Yes, they are brothers. After missing out on the first two opportunities to play against each other, Cam and Pat locked horns for the first time at Chase Center tonight. Pat Spencer, the elder brother, is undoubtedly the most popular one between the brothers. Well, at least in the Bay Area.
The 28-year-old came into the Warriors fold after signing a two-way contract for the 2023-24 season. After playing for the Wizards’ G-League affiliate, Capital City Go-Go, Santa Cruz Warriors, impressed with his performance, roped him in. Even though he made it to the Dubs’ locker room, he was just warming the bench for the longest time, and finally, in late February last year, he received his first playing minutes against the Nuggets and his points against the Grizzlies which he scored in fastbreak dunk amid a roaring crowd.
Since then, Pat has played 15 games for the Dubs in the last two seasons, most covering the garbage minutes. On the other hand, Cam Spencer, came into the league this season after a commendable performance at UConn’s championship run. The Pistons selected him with the 53rd pick and instantly traded him to the Grizzlies. While he didn’t get much opportunity on the floor initially, the team has gradually brought him into the mix, owing to the injuries on the Grizz’s side.
This is a developing story!
