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 third of 13 players who wore the No. 14 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State big man alum Ed Sadowski. After ending his college career at Seton Hall, Sadowski joined the (defunct) Toronto Huskies in their (and the BAA’s) first-ever season of existence.
The Johnstown, Pennsylvania native also played for the (defunct) Cleveland Rebels and the Boston Celtics before he was dealt to the (then) Philadelphia (now, Golden State) Warriors in 1948. His stay with the team would span parts of two seasons, coming to an end when he was traded to the (defunct) Baltimore Bullets in 1949.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Sadowski wore only jersey No. 14 and put up 13.8 points and 2.6 assists per game.
