The Golden State Warriors have signed free agent guard Brandon Williams to a one-year contract worth $2.6 million, according to the Associated Press. This move marks the second addition to the team in just two days, following the signing of forward Georges Niang for a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum of $3.9 million. Williams, 26, showcased his skills as a standout player during his time with the Dallas Mavericks last season, averaging 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds across 66 games, including 50 appearances with double-digit scoring.

Prior to his tenure with Dallas, Williams played for Portland in the 2021-22 NBA season and spent three seasons in the G League, representing the Westchester Knicks, College Park Skyhawks, Osceola Magic, and Texas Legends. The Warriors, who were eliminated from the NBA play-in tournament as the 10th seed, have bolstered their roster by adding center Al Horford on a two-year, $14 million contract and center Kristaps Porzingis to a two-year deal valued at $40 million.
