With training camp looming, the Golden State Warriors are beginning to finalize their final roster spots. After reports surfaced of veteran center Dwight Howard meeting with the Warriors next week, Mike Dunleavy Jr. added another piece to the frontcourt on Friday morning.
According to Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Warriors signed Spanish big man Usman Garuba to a two-way contract. Garuba will fill one of the three two-way deals for the Warriors.

Garuba was drafted with the No. 23 pick in the first round of the 2021 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets. Garuba spent two seasons with the Rockets, averaging 2.8 points on 47.5% shooting from the field with 3.9 rebounds per contest.
Garuba will provide some much-needed depth around Kevon Looney, Dario Saric and Draymond Green.
