As for Niang, he joins Golden State’s roster for his 10th NBA season.
The veteran sharpshooter started his career with the Indiana Pacers. After one season there, Niang went to the Utah Jazz for four seasons. In 2021, Niang signed a two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Niang left the Sixers for the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2023 free agency period. Amid his second season with the Cavs, Niang was traded to the Atlanta Hawks. The last time Niang played for the Hawks was during the 2024-2025 NBA season. He averaged 12.1 points while shooting 41.3% from three.
Last year, Niang nursed a foot injury during his second stint with the Jazz after getting traded. The Jazz sent Niang to the Memphis Grizzlies, and he was waived in February. Now healthy, Niang will get a chance to bounce back with the Warriors.
