Report: Former Thunder Usman Garuba signs two-way deal with Warriors

Usman Garuba joins his fourth team of the offseason as a two-way addition by the Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors signed former Oklahoma City Thunder center Usman Garuba to a two-way deal, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Garuba’s stay with the Thunder was short. He was part of a multiplayer trade with the Atlanta Hawks in July. His OKC tenure lasted a little more than a month as the Thunder waived him in late August.

The 2021 first-round pick now joins his fourth team of the offseason by signing a two-way deal with the Warriors. He spent his first two seasons with the Houston Rockets, averaging 2.8 points and 3.9 rebounds.

Garuba’s former teammate, TyTy Washington Jr., was also part of the Hawks trade after both spent a year in Houston together. After a brief summer league stint, Washington Jr.’s time with the Thunder also came to a quick end when they waived him in August.

Washington Jr. signed a two-way deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
