Somewhat surprised he's still unsigned. Coming off a fairly good season with the Nuggets (shot 40% from 3). https://t.co/njs3qa5yfH

The Warriors finished last season as the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.

They lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament so they missed the 2024 NBA playoffs.

Despite missing the playoffs three times in the previous five years, they have won five titles since the 2015 season.
