Shams Charania: Free agent forward Georges Niang has agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Niang -- a career 40% 3-point shooter -- enters his 11th NBA season after missing 2025-26 due to injury.

Shams Charania: Golden State's two open regular-season roster spots filled with Niang and Brandon Williams agreements Tuesday. Both were targeted over the last month for the Warriors and now land on one-year minimum deals.


Free agents who I'm told are drawing legitimate interest from Golden State for the Warriors' open roster spots: Georges Niang and Brandon Williams. On his Bleacher Report livestream Tuesday afternoon, Jake also mentioned Dalen Terry as a potential Warriors target.

Jake Fischer: The Knicks are still open to my understanding in finding front court depth. They got their backup guard in Jose Alvarado. Could they find a nice young center there? We'll see. I mean, I think one of the more intriguing big men on the buyout market right now is Chris Boucher. He'll have some interest as a vet minimum guy. He might be the best shooting big man available you can add. George Niang will be available. He needs to get healthy, but George Niang is going to be someone who can provide some front court shooting help.

Grant Afseth: The Memphis Grizzlies plan to waive Georges Niang to make room for Eric Gordon from the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told @DALHoopsJournal.

Andy Larsen: All of these players were at Jazz shootaround this morning, definitely DID NOT see this coming.
