The Golden State Warriors have signed Georges Niang to a one-year deal worth $3.9 million. Coach Steve Kerr aims to bolster outside shooting after a disappointing 2025-26 season, where the team ranked 22nd in field goal percentage. Niang, who has a career 39.9% three-point shooting average, will join fellow newcomer Brandon Williams in the revamped roster surrounding Stephen Curry for the 2026-27 season. This move reflects a commitment to improve the team's shooting efficiency heading into the new campaign.
