Overview
- The Warriors announced the signing of 6-foot-10 center Charles Bassey after multiple outlets reported Sunday that a deal was in the works.
- Golden State turned to Bassey after Omer Yurtseven’s second 10-day deal expired and with Al Horford sidelined by a calf strain and Quinten Post out with a foot injury.
- Bassey’s second 10-day contract with the Celtics ended April 4, and he logged five brief appearances for Boston this season.
- The 2021 second-round pick posted strong G League numbers this year, averaging about 20 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks for Santa Cruz and Delaware.
- The Warriors, 36-41 with a play-in berth secured, expect Stephen Curry back soon, which frames Bassey’s likely rest-of-season, minimum deal as a short-term depth play.
