Golden State Warriors Extend Yurtseven's 10-Day Contract Amid Depth Needs The Golden State Warriors have extended center Omer Yurtseven's 10-day contract, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. Yurtseven's initial 10-day assignment expired Tuesday, during which he played in five of six games, averaging 3.2 points and 3.2 rebounds. The Warriors are now giving him a second short-term deal, which will make him eligible to play for the next five games. The decision comes after Moses Moody suffered a season-ending knee injury, leaving the team without a key wing player. While the Warriors could have opted to bring in a wing like Kevin Knox II instead of a center, they face multiple center absences, including Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot), who are both sidelined for Wednesday’s game. With limited depth at the center position, keeping Yurtseven provides immediate flexibility. If the Warriors wish to retain Yurtseven beyond the five-game window, they would need to sign him to a standard contract, as NBA rules prohibit granting a player three 10-day contracts in a single season. The Warriors, currently at 34-38 in the 2025-26 season, have 10 games remaining, making this a critical window for roster adjustments. The injury to Moody has also shifted focus to the team’s wing depth. While Gui Santos is expected to see increased minutes at the 3-position, the Warriors will need a reliable option to fill the 3-spot when Santos shifts to the 4 or rests. Nate Williams, who has been with the team on a two-way contract, appears to be the most viable candidate. Standing at 6'5", Williams offers the size to defend larger wings, a challenge for players like Will Richard (6'3"), Brandin Podziemski (6'4"), Gary Payton II (6'2"), and De'Anthony Melton (6'2").#golden_state_warriors #moses_moody #quinten_post #omer_yurtseven #anthony_slater
