The Golden State Warriors<\/strong> are signing veteran power forward Georges Niang<\/strong> to a one-year, $3.9 million contract<\/strong>, according to ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The deal completes Golden State\u2019s 15-man roster heading into the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Niang returns after missing last season<\/h2>\n

Niang missed the entire 2025-26 season after suffering a fracture in his left foot in September.<\/p>\n

Before the injury, the veteran had established himself as a durable floor spacer, appearing in at least 72 games in each of the previous five seasons: 72, 76, 78, 82 and 79 games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Niang has shot 39.9% from three-point range for his career<\/strong>, doing so on significant volume.<\/p>\n

Niang\u2019s expected role with Golden State<\/h2>\n

Niang is expected to provide a reserve frontcourt option behind Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old also has a previous connection to the franchise. He joined the Warriors for training camp in 2017 and later played for their G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.<\/p>\n

Brandon Williams also joins the Warriors<\/h2>\n

Earlier on Tuesday, Golden State agreed to a one-year minimum contract with reserve guard Brandon Williams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Niang and Williams represent the Warriors\u2019 first two external free-agent signings of the summer, with Golden State otherwise maintaining a largely stable roster.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry extension next<\/h2>\n

The Warriors\u2019 next major piece of business will involve Stephen Curry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The superstar guard becomes eligible for a contract extension on Saturday, with both Curry and Golden State reportedly sharing a desire to keep him with the franchise for the remainder of his career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
