A Tight Window
The clock is ticking. By Thursday, February 20th, the Warriors must complete two signings. The catch? These additions must be on either minimum contracts or 10-day deals.
Kevin Knox: A familiar Face?
One potential solution is kevin Knox,a 2018 draft pick. His prior preseason experience with the Warriors offers a smooth transition. Knox’s offensive prowess in the G League is undeniable,averaging 25 points per game with a scorching 44.4% from three-point range,and 8.8 rebounds.

Knox’s NBA experience, spanning six seasons and 306 games, including 77 starts, provides valuable depth. His recent performance with the Detroit pistons,averaging 7.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 18.1 minutes, suggests a player ready to contribute.
A 10-Day Gamble?
A 10-day contract for Knox allows the Warriors versatility. They can assess his fit and decide whether to extend his stay or seek other options.
Yuri Collins: A Potential Backup
Another potential addition is Yuri Collins, a 23-year-old guard averaging 16.2 points and 10.3 assists in the G League. His notable numbers make him a strong candidate for a 10-day deal.
