Per ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the Golden State Warriors are signing power forward Marquese Chriss to a two-year contract. Chriss initially signed to a one-year contract with the Warriors in September and waived shortly before being signed to a Two Way contract in January.
He’s appeared in 47 games for Golden State this season.
Now in his fourth year in the league, Chriss has averaged 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 block per game this season while shooting a career-high 51.8 percent from the field. Chriss finds himself being added to one of what were five open roster spots, with the Warriors also signing wings Ky Bowman, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Zach Norvell Jr. to deals after the passing of the trade deadline.
Chriss’ signing should be one of the last for the Warriors for some time, with Golden State now near at the allotted minimum number of players (14) on the roster; they have 13. However, the team now has no Two Way players after adding Chriss and Bowman, another of their former Two Way players, onto the regular season roster.
