LOS ANGELES -- About 45 minutes before the Warriors' 109-100 loss to the LA Clippers, forward Omari Spellman is explaining his rationale behind packing two pairs of sneakers for the current two-game road trip.
The black Air Jordan 14s sitting atop his locker are described as his 'shooting sneaker,' used for his jab-step pull-up. Seven feet below sit his Nike Kyrie Vs, used for an extra boost when he attempts a poster dunk.
For much of the season, Spellman has been using symbols to find confidence in his game. Along the way, he's found a path to revitalize his career.
