Warriors have signed Quinndary Weatherspoon to a two-way contract. They’ve had the two-way qualifying offer out to him since the beginning of free agency. There’s belief he can help them in rotation minutes next season.

Warriors are expected to enter camp with a vacant 15th roster spot, able to be won in a competition (like Gary Payton II did) or left vacant, which would save tax dollars. McClung has committed to be one of the camp competitors.

James Wiseman plays 20 minutes in his return. Eleven points on 5/7 FG. Jumper looked good. Moved well. Only had two rebounds and committed seven fouls. Mixed bag. Most important for Warriors that he’s on floor again.

Rough summer league opener for Jonathan Kuminga. Went 2-of-10 shooting with five of the team’s 23 turnovers. Moses Moody was spectacular. Finished with 34 points on 8/13 FG, three 3s, 15-of-17 on free throws.

Moses Moody’s mindset on next season: “Make it to the point where if I’m getting into the game, it’s not because someone likes me. It’s not doing me a favor. I want to be needed. I want you to think ‘I need Moses on the floor.’ That’s on me.”
