**San Francisco, CA** – The Golden State Warriors are adding depth to their roster ahead of training camp by signing former Summer League standout Yuri Collins to an Exhibit 10 deal. Collins, a 23-year-old point guard, originally joined the Warriors on a similar deal last year before spending the season with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s G League affiliate.

Despite modest averages in the G League, the Warriors are clearly intrigued by Collins’ potential. The former Saint Louis standout led the NCAA in assists for two consecutive seasons and could provide valuable depth at the guard position for a Warriors team looking to contend in the competitive Western Conference.

This move comes at a time of significant change for the Warriors, who have undergone a roster overhaul this offseason. The team recently sent Klay Thompson to a Western Conference rival in a multi-team trade that brought in three new wings: Buddy Hield, De’Anthony Melton, and Kyle Anderson.

The Warriors, however, are not done making moves. Despite unsuccessful bids for Paul George and Lauri Markkanen, rumors persist that the team is still interested in adding Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. A potential pairing of Butler and Stephen Curry could propel the Warriors back to relevance, though the team still requires significant help in the frontcourt.

Collins’ signing adds to the Warriors’ growing collection of young, developing talent. He will be looking to make a strong impression in training camp and fight for a spot on the main roster.
