The Warriors are waiving Kevin Knox II, sources told this news organization, giving the wing a chance to latch on with another team or pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Knox, still just 25 years old, had a strong Summer League and training camp for the Warriors. He averaged 17.5 points per game in four Summer League contests, shooting 46% overall.
The Warriors are also waiving Jackson Rowe and Blake Hinson. Their Exhibit 10 contracts incentivize them to stick with the organization with the G League Santa Cruz Warriors.
The deadline to make decisions on players under training camp deals was 2 p.m.
Golden State had signed Knox to a non-guaranteed training camp deal. The ninth pick in the 2018 draft started his career with the Knicks before spending time with the Hawks, Pistons and Blazers.
In 306 career NBA games, Knox has averaged 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds. At 6-foot-7, he has the potential to play either the three or the four in small-ball lineups as a floor-spacer.
Rowe and Hinson, each undrafted players, had solid camps as similarly rangy wings. Rowe, 27, averaged 9.7 points in 16 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors last year. Hinson last starred at Pittsburgh as a senior, shooting a career-best 42.1% from 3 while averaging 18.5 points.
The Warriors’ roster is likely set at 14, with one roster slot left open. At the moment, Golden State is too close to their first-apron hard cap to fill their 15th spot. Their three two-way players are rookie Quinten Post, steady guard Pat Spencer and undrafted guard out of Virginia Reece Beekman.
Here are the 14 rostered Warriors players heading into next week’s regular season debut.
Guards: Steph Curry, De’Anthony Melton, Brandin Podziemski
Wings: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters III, Gui Santos
Bigs: Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, Kyle Anderson, Trayce Jackson-Davis
Two-ways: Spencer, Post, Beekman
