Warriors to sign former Gonzaga standout Graham Ike to two-way deal
The Golden State Warriors plan to sign Summer League standout Graham Ike, filling the last of their two-way slots. What the move means for rookie second-round pick Lajae Jones is unclear.
After a standout performance in the NBA Summer League, former Gonzaga standout Graham Ike has been signed to a two-way contract by the Golden State Warriors, according to league sources. The 24-year-old big man averaged 10 points and 7.2 rebounds in nine total Summer League games. This two-year, two-way deal is the Warriors' final two-way slot, alongside LJ Cryer and Malevy Leons.
Should 6-foot-7 inch Lajae Jones fail to secure a two-way spot, the Warriors may opt to send him to the G League or overseas for the 2026-27 season while keeping his draft rights. The addition of Ike bolsters the Warriors' roster of two-way players and Exhibit 10 signees for the upcoming training camp in Hawaii, which commences on September 29.
After beginning his college career at Wyoming, Ike transferred to Gonzaga, where he was a dominant force, averaging 17.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in three seasons. He was named an All-American in 2025-26 and showcased promising big-to-big pick-and-roll chemistry with rookie Yaxel Lendeborg during the NBA Summer League. Despite not having dominant size, Ike possesses a versatile offensive game, including hints of a three-point jumper and an 80% free-throw shooting percentage.
