After signing proven players like Andre Iguodala, Otto Porter Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica in free agency, the Golden State Warriors could have their eyes on another veteran before the start of the 2021-22 season.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, the Warriors will work out free agent guard Darren Collison. The veteran guard retired in 2019 and hasn’t played a full season since the 2018-19 campaign with the Indiana Pacers.

Before retiring, Collison averaged 11.2 points on 46.7% shooting from the floor with six assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.2 minutes per game for the Pacers. Over his final four seasons, the UCLA product shot over 40% from long distance on 2.7 3-point attempts per game.
The 34-year-old guard also has postseason experience, playing in the playoffs five times in his 10-year career.
Along with playing in Indiana, Collison has played with the New Orleans Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings.
While he might be a different player after two seasons away from the game, Collison could provide the Warriors with a proven ball-handler off the bench behind Steph Curry.
