Warriors Waive Seth Curry in Cap Move, With Early-Season Return Expected

Golden State faces a second‑apron hard cap that precludes a 15th contract until a prorated minimum can fit later in the fall.

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

  • Golden State placed Seth Curry and undrafted rookie LJ Cryer on waivers, trimming the roster to 17 players with 14 standard contracts and three two‑ways.
  • Curry was on a non‑guaranteed Exhibit 9 deal and did not appear in preseason games as the team managed salary timing under new cap rules.
  • Team officials are keeping the 15th spot vacant, and multiple reports indicate Curry is expected to re‑sign in mid‑November or slightly later when a prorated minimum fits below the apron.
  • Cryer averaged 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.6 rebounds in five preseason games and is likely to join Santa Cruz if he clears waivers, which would make him eligible for a 60‑day G League bonus.
  • Recent additions and contracts, including deals for Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton and Jonathan Kuminga’s new pact, left the Warriors just below the second‑apron line and necessitated the procedural waiver.
