Warriors Sign 6-Foot-9, 250-Pound Center to 2-Year Deal

The Golden State Warriors have signed undrafted Gonzaga center Graham Ike to a two-year, two-way contract. Ike joins LJ Cryer and Malevy Leons to complete the Warriors' three-player two-way roster. The 6-foot-9, 250-pound big man initially joined Golden State on an Exhibit-10 contract after going undrafted, eventually earning his roster spot through strong performances in the Las Vegas Summer League.

During Summer League play, Ike averaged 10.0 points and 7.2 rebounds over nine games to help the Warriors win the championship. Golden State prioritized frontcourt depth with Ike due to the injury histories of standard-contract centers Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Charles Bassey. This signing comes as the Warriors also manage injuries to wings Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody.
