Warriors Make Decision on Former First-Round Pick Ahead of Roster Deadline

The Golden State Warriors plan to waive former first-round pick Dalen Terry ahead of Monday's NBA roster deadline, according to ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel. Golden State intends to keep the 24-year-old wing in its developmental system by having him join its G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, once he clears waivers. Terry had joined Golden State on an Exhibit 10 contract in August after being waived by the Philadelphia 76ers.

Terry showed flashes during the preseason, including a 23-point performance against Portland, but saw limited minutes in subsequent games. General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. and head coach Steve Kerr's staff view the Santa Cruz arrangement as an opportunity for Terry to earn consistent playing time and refine his offensive game rather than remaining on the NBA bench.
