Free agent forward Georges Niang has agreed to a one-year contract with the Golden State Warriors for the league minimum salary of $3.9 million, the team announced on Tuesday. Niang, a 33-year-old veteran, will join the Warriors in the league's most successful franchise.
Last season, Niang played 79 games with the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game over 21.5 minutes while recovering from a left foot injury in Utah and Memphis. His NBA career spans nine seasons, primarily as a reserve player with the Hawks, Cavaliers, 76ers, Jazz, and Pacers. Niang's career averages are 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.
The Warriors have made minimal additions to their roster this season, reuniting with center Al Horford on a two-year, $14 million contract extension and acquiring center Kristaps Porzingis for a two-year deal worth $40 million after the February trade deadline. Porzingis was sent to the Hawks in exchange for Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga.
