Given teams can only have 13 players for a maximum of two weeks at a time, the Warriors will need to sign a 14th player by March 23.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">That means a roster move is imminent before the end of the week, with Golden State having already spent a two-week period with only 13 players following the blockbuster acquisition of Jimmy Butler in early February.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\">Kevin Knox is still likely to be the Warriors next signing<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">There&#8217;s not expected to be any surprises with what the Warriors do later in the week. Kevin Knox is still highly likely to be the franchise&#8217;s 14th signing, having previously been with Golden State across two 10-day contracts.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Knox didn&#8217;t take huge advantage of the limited opportunity he was given, but the former ninth overall pick still presents as a better option than alternative free agents. Knox showed enough to suggest he&#8217;s at least a reasonable depth piece, having displayed an intriguing blend of athleticism, size and shooting.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">The 25-year-old appeared in 51 minutes across seven games with the Warriors, averaging 4.0 points and 1.6 rebounds while shooting 45.8% from the floor and 27.3% from 3-point range. His most recent playing time came against the team that drafted him, having seen just over 12 minutes in the March 4 victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Despite his last 10-day contract ending earlier in the month, Knox has not returned to the G League where Santa Cruz have played multiple games over the past week. That would suggest the seven-year NBA veteran is just biding his time for March 23, with Golden State saving important dollars with every day they wait to officially sign a 14th player.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">The seven-year NBA veteran earned his opportunity with some blistering G League form, having averaged 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds on over 52% shooting from the floor and 44% from 3-point range in 12 regular season games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">The Warriors will also have an opportunity to sign a 15th player before the end of the season, with Braxton Key perhaps the most likely candidate as he continues impressive form with Santa Cruz in the G League.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden State Warriors have undertaken their past few games with just 13 players on the main roster, with that proving a viable option given the franchise ha<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":45009,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
