Warriors add five G League non-roster players to roster for offseason voluntary minicamp

Five members from Golden State’s G League affiliate in Santa Cruz will join the Warriors at Chase Center for a voluntary offseason minicamp.

For the first time since March, the Golden State Warriors will step on the court for practice. On Monday, the Warriors opened up a voluntary minicamp at Chase Center in the Bay Area.

Without an invitation to the NBA’s Orlando Bubble at Disney World, “The Dubble” will serve as the Warriors’ first form of team basketball activities since the season was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Before workouts begin, the team will go through coronavirus testing and a 48-hour quarantine window. Following their quarantine, the Warriors go through group workouts at Golden State’s San Francisco facility. During their stay in The Dubble, the Warriors will lodge in a campus environment.

After missing all of the 2019-20 campaign, Klay Thompson is expected to join the Warriors at minicamp. However, the Splash Brother could be missing his two of his All-Star teammates at Chase Center. Both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are doubtful for the voluntary camp due to family reasons.

Along with Thompson and the rest of Golden State’s roster, five members of the Warriors G League affiliate in Santa Cruz will be available at minicamp. Before camp began, the Warriors added Roger Moute a Bidias, Zach Norvell Jr., Jeremy Pargo, Jonathon Simmons and Ryan Taylor as non-roster invites.

Simmons will serve as the group veteran, playing in over 250 games in his NBA career. After stops in San Antonio, Orlando and Philadelphia, the Houston product signed with the Santa Cruz Warriors last season.

During Golden State’s 2019-20 run, Pargo and Norvell Jr. were called up for 10-day contracts. Both Pargo and Norvell suited up for three games in Golden State before their deals expired.

Alongside Thompson and Andre Wiggins, the Bay Area Bubble will give the G League players an opportunity to impress Steve Kerr and Bob Myers before the Warriors progress through their extended offseason.
