Golden State Warriors guard Pat Spencer (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. Spencer is set to miss his first game since mid-November as he deals with a personal issue. In his third season, Spencer has started three games while future Hall-of-Fame point guard Stephen Curry has dealt with a quad injury. In those games, Spencer averaged 14.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game. Curry made his return last Sunday, which sent Spencer back to his bench role in the Warriors' lineup. With Spencer out, Curry could be forced to take a larger workload, and rookie Will Richard could see more minutes as well.
