The Golden State Warriors have taken an important step in their team structure by converting Usman Garuba to a standard contract player following his season under a dual agreement with the franchise. This move allows Garuba to be eligible to compete in the playoffs following his conversion.
Standing at 6-foot-8, Garuba has had limited participation in the NBA this season, making just five appearances on the court. However, his impact has been felt most in the G League, where he played 35 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors, averaging 12.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game.
This promotion of Garuba reflects the confidence the team has in his ability and potential to contribute significantly. Now, with the opportunity to compete in the playoffs, Garuba has the perfect platform to showcase his worth and help lead the team to success.
Just In
