The Golden State Warriors signed forward Georges Niang to a one-year agreement on August 26, 2026. Niang, who has played nine seasons in the NBA, spent four years with the Utah Jazz. Known for his three-point shooting, he has a career average of 39.9% from beyond the arc but missed the entire 2025-26 season due to a foot injury.
