It was reported by Anthony Slater of The Athletic that the Golden State Warriors would be waiving Donovan Williams, Javan Johnson, and Kendric Davis, and signing Javonte Green and Yuri Collins. In an official announcement, the Warriors confirmed these roster moves.

While Collins does not have any NBA experience, Green has spent four years in the NBA, playing 113 games for the Chicago Bulls, and 73 games for the Boston Celtics. On the signings of Collins and Green, the Warriors wrote the following:

"The Golden State Warriors have signed guard Yuri Collins and guard/forward Javonte Green, it was announced today. Per team policy, terms of the agreements were not released.
