Warriors Re-Sign Omer Yurtseven to a Second 10-Day Contract

The move gives Golden State a brief audition window before a final roster call.

Overview

  • The Warriors, who reached terms Wednesday, brought back center Omer Yurtseven on a second 10-day deal, according to ESPN’s Anthony Slater.
  • The contract runs through April 3 and covers five games, paying $141,463 with a $131,970 cap hit, per Hoops Rumors.
  • Golden State turned to Yurtseven because Al Horford is out with a calf strain and Kristaps Porzingis has been in and out, with Quinten Post injured and Moses Moody reportedly done for the season.
  • Yurtseven averaged 3.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in five games over 56 minutes in his first stint, and Steve Kerr said he is “a very good player.”
  • Under NBA rules, a team must sign a player for the rest of the season or release him after two 10-day deals, so this stretch functions as his roster tryout.
