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 11th of 15 players who wore the No. 33 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State guard alum Sarunas Jasikevicius. After ending his college career at Maryland, Jasikevicius went unselected in the 1998 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until until he signed with the Indiana Pacers in 2005.
The Kaunas, Lithuania native played parts of the first two seasons of his pro career with the Pacers, coming to an end when he was dealt to Golden State in 2007, where he finished his NBA career.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Jasikevicius wore only jersey No. 33 and put up 4.3 points and 2.3 assists per game.
