During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Borsavage wore only jersey No. 19 and put up 2.7 points 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 fourth of 13 players who wore the No. 19 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State big man alum Ike Borsavage. After ending his college career at Temple, Borsavage was picked up with the 51st overall selection of the 1950 NBA Draft by the (then) Philadelphia (now, Golden State) Warriors.
The Plymouth, Pennsylvania native played his sole season in the league with the Dubs before leaving the NBA as a player in 1951.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Borsavage wore only jersey No. 19 and put up 2.7 points per game.
