During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Leglere wore only jersey Nos. 20 and 23 and put up 5.4 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
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 15th of 29 players who wore the No. 20 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State guard alum Tim Legler. After ending his college career at La Salle, Legler would go unselected in the 1988 NBA Draft, instead playing in other domestic leagues until he signed with the Phoenix Suns in 1990.
The Washington, District of Columbia native also played for the Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, and Dallas Mavericks before he signed with Golden State in 1995. His stay with the team would span 24 games for his first of two stints before he would sign with the (then) Washington Bullets (now, Wizards) later that year.
He would return to the Dubs for his final season in the NBA in 1999. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Leglere wore only jersey Nos. 20 and 23 and put up 5.4 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
