SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Free agent forward Georges Niang has signed a one-year contract with the Golden State Warriors.
The team announced the addition of the 33-year-old veteran Tuesday. He was sidelined last season with both Utah and Memphis recovering from a left foot injury. Niang appeared in 79 games with three starts during 2024-25 for Atlanta and Cleveland, averaging 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 21.5 minutes.
He has played nine NBA seasons, mostly as a reserve with the Hawks, Cavaliers, 76ers, Jazz and Pacers. He owns career averages of 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists.
The Warriors have made few additions but are bringing back familiar faces such as center Al Horford on a two-year, $14 million contract and center Kristaps Porzingis on a two-year contract for $40 million after the Warriors acquired him from Atlanta at the February trade deadline and sent Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga to the Hawks.
