Warriors roster news: Quinndary Weatherspoon, Lester Quinones waived
Weatherspoon appeared in four preseason games and averaged 4.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and one assist in 11.2 minutes.
Weatherspoon turned heads last year with his impressive defense against Klay Thompson in Santa Cruz at the Warriors’ G League facility as the star guard worked his way back from a pair of long-term leg injuries. That earned Weatherspoon a 10-day deal, which turned into a two-way opportunity that landed him on the bench throughout the Warriors’ championship run.
Weatherspoon played 11 games with the Warriors last season, spending the rest of his time in Santa Cruz with the Warriors’ G League affiliate. The move to waive Weatherspoon comes as a surprise. Entering training camp, he seemed the most likely to earn a permanent spot on the roster given his defensive abilities and the way he’s improved his offense.
Quinones played in two preseason games, averaging five points, 1.5 rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes. He signed a two-way deal with the Warriors on draft night after he went undrafted. Before joining Golden State this summer, Quinones played four seasons at Memphis — part of one of those seasons was with James Wiseman.The moves open up the Warriors’ two-way deals. There are four guys gunning for those positions: Pat Spencer, Ty Jerome, Jerome Robinson and Anthony Lamb.
