The Golden State Warriors have signed point guard Yuri Collins to a 10-day contract, according to reports. Collins, a 23-year-old point guard, has been playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League, where he has averaged 14.1 points, 9.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 4.1 turnovers per game. The Warriors have also signed wing Kevin Knox to a 10-day contract, adding much-needed depth to their roster after the Jimmy Butler trade.

Collins has taken a unique path to the NBA, starting his career at Saint Louis University, where he led the A-10 in assists across his final three seasons and the entire NCAA in assists as a junior and senior. Despite his impressive college statistics, Collins went undrafted due to his lack of size and shooting prowess. However, he has continued to develop his skills in the G League, earning a chance to join the Warriors. The NBA team will be hoping that Collins can bring his passing ability and scoring prowess to the court, helping to strengthen their roster.

The Warriors currently have three open spots on their 15-man roster and will have to fill two of them by February 20 to get back to the required minimum of 14 players on standard contracts. With only $1.37MM in wiggle room below their hard cap, the team will be careful about how they use their remaining room. A 10-day deal for Knox will carry a cap hit of $119,972, giving the team some flexibility to make further moves. The Warriors' schedule for the next few games is as follows:

• Friday: at Sacramento
• Sunday: at Los Angeles
• Tuesday: at Phoenix
• Thursday: at Denver

Collins and Knox join the Warriors at a crucial time, with the team looking to make a push for the playoffs. The Warriors' current standings are:

1. Golden State Warriors: 28-27
2. Los Angeles Lakers: 30-25
3. Phoenix Suns: 29-26
4. Denver Nuggets: 31-24

The team will be hoping that the additions of Collins and Knox can help to strengthen their roster and make a run for the playoffs. Collins' statistics in the G League are impressive, with averages of 14.1 points, 9.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 4.1 turnovers per game. Knox has also been playing well in the G League, averaging 21.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

The signing of Collins and Knox is a positive move for the Warriors, adding depth and talent to their roster. The team will be hoping that these additions can help to make a push for the playoffs, and with their upcoming schedule, they will have the opportunity to make a statement. The Warriors' fans will be eagerly watching the team's performance over the next few games, hoping to see the impact that Collins and Knox can make.
