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 28th of 28 players who wore the No. 7 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Buddy Hield. After ending his college career at Oklahoma, Hield was picked up with the sixth overall selection of the 2016 NBA draft by the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Freeport, Bahamas native would play part of the first season of his pro career with the Pels, and would also have stints with the Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Philadelphia 76ers before he was dealt to the Dubs in 2024.
His stay with the team continues to the present. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Hield wore only jersey No. 7 and put up 11.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
