The Golden State Warriors filled out their 15-man roster earlier this week by signing two new free agents, former Utah Jazz forward Georges Niang and Brandon Williams, a former Dallas Mavericks point guard. Following their arrival to the Bay Area, both of them have selected their jersey numbers ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Beginning with Niang, he'll wear No. 32, a number he hasn't worn since his rookie season (2016-17) with the Indiana Pacers. Since then, Niang wore 31 for the Utah Jazz and No. 20 for three different franchises. The last Warriors player to wear No. 32 was Trayce Jackson-Davis, who wore the jersey for the past two and a half seasons before being traded to the Toronto Raptors.

Despite playing for just two teams in his career, Williams has worn four different numbers. In his first year with Golden State, Williams will switch numbers again, wearing the No. 12 for the first time in his career. The No. 12 was last worn for the Warriors in the 2024-25 season by Braxton Key, who played just three games for the franchise.
