Warriors sign Georges Niang and Brandon Williams to bolster roster
Summary

The Golden State Warriors have signed free agent guard Brandon Williams and forward Georges Niang as they prepare for the upcoming season. Williams joins on a one-year, $2.6 million deal, while Niang, a career 40% 3-point shooter, signs for one year at $3.9 million. These moves come after a quiet offseason for the team, which had faced criticism for not making major acquisitions. Niang, who missed last season due to injury, is expected to enhance the team’s perimeter shooting, creating more floor spacing for their offense. This signing marks an important addition to a squad already featuring veteran stars like Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
