Michael Scotto: Free agent Anthony Lamb has agreed to a deal with the NBL’s New Zealand Breakers, which includes an NBA opt-out clause, sources told @hoopshype. The Breakers will play two games coming up against the Trail Blazers and Jazz. Lamb appeared in 62 games for the Warriors last season.

The Warriors aren’t expected to extend a qualifying offer to Anthony Lamb or Ty Jerome this week, per league sources, making them both unrestricted free agents. But there remains some level of interest in perhaps bringing one or both back, depending on how the market materializes. Put simpler: Neither are first options, but both remain eventual options.

Today, most teams use a Slipp-Nott and have customized pads with their team logos, but the price for those pads is now $588. “That’s like my lifesaver,” Golden State Warriors forward Anthony Lamb said. “I always play in the same shoes, so sometimes when I’m running out of shoes, and my shoes are beat up, I’m going to need that sticky pad.” Lamb plays in the black colorway version of Nike’s Paul George 6 sneakers; worn-down pairs sit near his locker, with fresh pairs in boxes. Sometimes he wears the shoes “five games too long,” he said, and they become slippery.

Kerith Burke: Kerr on converting Lamb: “We definitely needed another wing with size to guard multiple spots. I'd love to have Ty Jerome, too, but we don't have enough spots. We could only pick one. So we chose Lamb based on a positional need but both guys really deserved to be on the roster.”

Anthony Slater: Moses Moody and Anthony Lamb just finished a G-League game in Birmingham. They won’t be available for the Warriors tonight in OKC. Lamb is the rotation player now out of the mix. Hit his 50-game limit. Stuck in a holding pattern. Still candidate for 15th spot prior to playoffs.

In December of last year, Kendall Ware filed a lawsuit against the University of Vermont that said Anthony Lamb raped her while both were students there in 2019. But well before the lawsuit, allegations that Lamb had committed sexual assault while he was a student at UVM had been swirling on social media. That’s what Bob Myers was asked about in October. In response, Myers said that he checked about the sexual assault case with the NBA league office and the other teams, the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs, which had previously signed Lamb. The Warriors never reached out to Ware or her lawyers, before or after the lawsuit was filed, the San Francisco Examiner reported Friday.

San Francisco Chronicle

Neither the Rockets nor Spurs — nor the NBA league office — have reached out to Ware or her representatives, a lawyer for Ware told SFGATE. In an interview, Karen Truszkowski, one of Ware’s lawyers in the lawsuit against the University of Vermont, emphasized that Ware’s lawsuit was about the university’s serial mishandling of sexual assault cases, not Lamb’s NBA career.

San Francisco Chronicle

The NBA league office did not answer direct questions about whether it had conducted an investigation of Lamb and what such an investigation would have entailed. “Anthony Lamb has played for four NBA or NBA-affiliated teams since 2021,” a league spokesperson told SFGATE. “At no point did evidence come to our attention that would have provided a basis for our refusing to allow Lamb to do so.”
