Quinones went undrafted out of Memphis in 2022 and is in his second season in the league (all with Golden State). 

He has also spent a significant amount of time with the Santa Cruz Warriors (G League) and has career averages of 21.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest while shooting 44.8% from the field and 36.1% from the three-point range in 33 regular season games. 

As for the Warriors, they are the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 27-26 record in 53 games. 

After a poor start to the season, they have played much better as of late and are 6-1 over their last seven games (and 8-2 over the previous ten). 

The Warriors will return to action on Thursday evening when they host Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Chase Center. 

Some notes on the signing:

🏀Golden State had up until Thursday sign a 14th player.

🏀Quinones signed a 1 year Two-Way with Golden State and the contract conversion is for the rest of the season.
