Nassir Little is coming off a season where he appeared in 45 games for the Phoenix Suns.

He finished the year with averages of 3.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest while shooting 46.0% from the field and 30.0% from the three-point range.

Over the offseason, Little was waived by the Suns.

Via Shams Charania of The Athletic on August 21: "The Phoenix Suns are waiving forwards Nassir Little and EJ Liddell, per sources. By releasing both, the Suns open up a roster spot and create flexibility for signings and trades during the season. Suns will stretch the three years and $22 million remaining on Little’s deal."

The Warriors are coming off a season where they were 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 NBA playoffs for the third time in five seasons.
