The Golden State Warriors have signed veteran forward Georges Niang to a one-year, $3.9 million contract, according to ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania. Niang, who missed the entire 2025-26 NBA season due to a severe foot injury during offseason training, will return to the court with the Warriors. Niang began his NBA career as the Indiana Pacers 50th overall pick in the 2016 draft and has played for the Utah Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Atlanta Hawks.
He had his best season through 28 games with the Hawks in 2024-25, averaging 12.1 points per game on 41.3% three-point shooting. Niang, 33, is a 39% three-point shooter for his career. The Warriors finished 10th in the Western Conference with a 37-45 record this past season. Golden State's regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers is scheduled for Oct. 21.
