The Golden State Warriors and two-way rookie Ky Bowman have reportedly agreed to a multi-year NBA contract, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Bowman had previously reached the end of his 45-day service clock on his two-way contract and had not appeared in an NBA game since Jan. 18 against the Orlando Magic. The Warriors used Bowman extensively this season after dealing with injuries to a number of key players.
The Warriors agreed to sign Bowman after they traded D’Angelo Russell, Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, a 2021 first-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick.

After an active day on Thursday prior to the trade deadline, Bowman is projected to be the starting point guard on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
