Dubs sign former Rockets wing after All-Star break
After the NBA trade deadline, Golden State Warriors had an open two-way list of contracts after they converted Pat Spencer’s contract into a standard contract. After the All-Star break, the Warriors moved into the fill that spot on the list in signing Nate Williams to a two-way contract, per Jake Fisher of The Stein Line.
The signing of Nate Williams now increases the Warriors roster to 14 standard contracts and three two-way contracts. Under his two-way contract, Williams is limited to the number of games he can be active for, but with the Warriors only having 27 games remaining in the regular season, he is in no danger of using those games. However, Williams will not be able to play in the playoffs.
After spending training camp with the Los Angeles Lakers, Williams played for the Long Island Nets, the G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets, this season. He appeared in 35 games, with only about 34 minutes per game. He averaged 18.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals while shooting 47.2 percent from the field, 36.5 percent from the 3-point line and 80 percent from the free throw line.
After going undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft, Williams began playing in the NBA when he signed with the Portland Trail Blazers near the end of the 2022-23 season. It was his best performance to date, averaging a career-high 10.6 points and shooting 61.5 percent from the field through five games. He spent the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons with the Houston Rockets.
After the All-Star break, the Warriors will resume play on Thursday, February 19 against the Boston Celtics. They are currently 29-26 and in eighth place in the Western Conference standings. Encouraged by deadline addition Kristaps Porzingis, Warriors will look to make a push during the final months of the regular season.
