BREAKING: The Golden State Warriors have signed Kevin Knox II to a 10-day contract!

The Warriors’ roster is now up to 14 players

The Warriors’ roster is back to 14 players after a pair of 10-day deals.

The Warriors inked both Kevin Knox II and Yuri Collins to 10-day contracts, giving both Santa Cruz Warriors a chance at providing depth.

Knox, the ninth overall pick in 2018, is averaging 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game in the G League regular season. At 6-foot-8, he could give the Warriors minutes on the wing if more injuries deplete their depth chart.

Knox is just 25 years old. He has played for the Knicks, Hawks, Pistons and Blazers.

Collins, meanwhile, is a pass-first point guard who led the NCAA in assists twice for Saint Louis.

The Jimmy Butler trade that sent out Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and Lindy Waters III required the Warriors to convert two-way center Quinten Post to a standard deal to reach the minimum 12 players. Teams can only carry fewer than 14 players for a limited amount of time.

Ten-day contracts are worth a prorated portion of the minimum salary. Teams can sign a player to two 10-day contracts before either retaining them for the remainder of the season or returning them to free agency.

The Warriors are still eligible to sign a player on the buyout market after Collins or Knox’s 10 days are up. But a player must be waived before March 1 in order to be postseason-eligible. Golden State is also operating under thin margins given they’re hard-capped at the first apron.

Notable players on the buyout market to have signed with a team already include Ben Simmons (Clippers), Torrey Craig (Celtics) and Alex Len (Lakers).

Although the Warriors have struggled to separate from the bottom of the Western Conference playoff picture this year, it has been a promising season for their developmental system. Post, a second-round rookie, started seven games before the All-Star break. Gui Santos has cracked the rotation as an energy guy off the bench. Even Pat Spencer has had moments as an emergency point guard, organizing the offense and pushing pace.

Neither Knox nor Collins are expected to contribute much, but the same could’ve been said about Santos, Spencer and Post.
