Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors looks on against the LA Clippers in the first half of an NBA preseason basketball game at Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

Overview

  • The team announced the waivers on Saturday, a move characterized by reporters as procedural under the NBA’s new cap constraints.
  • Cap analysts have identified a mid-November window for a veteran-minimum deal that would allow Curry to re-sign without breaching the second apron.
  • Curry was on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 camp contract and did not appear in preseason games while working out with the team.
  • Roster counts now stand at 14 standard contracts and three two-way deals, with the 15th spot intentionally left open.
  • Undrafted rookie LJ Cryer averaged 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.6 rebounds in five preseason games and is expected to join Santa Cruz if he clears waivers, qualifying for an $85,300 G League bonus after 60 days.
