**San Francisco, CA** – The Golden State Warriors are bolstering their backcourt, signing point guard Yuri Collins to a 10-day contract, the team announced today. The move comes as the Warriors also signed wing Kevin Knox to meet the NBA’s minimum roster requirement.

Collins, a 23-year-old, joins the Warriors after a standout college career at Saint Louis University, where he led the NCAA in assists in both his junior and senior seasons. Known for his exceptional passing ability, Collins averaged 10.1 assists per game during his final year. While his lack of size (6’0″) and shooting percentage hindered his draft prospects, his impressive G-League performance with the Santa Cruz Warriors ultimately earned him this opportunity.

This season with Santa Cruz, Collins averaged 14.1 points and 9.5 assists per game, showcasing continued growth throughout the year. His February statistics were even more impressive, with averages of 22.8 points and 10.0 assists.

“Yuri’s exceptional passing skills and playmaking ability are what stood out,” said [Insert Warriors representative quote if available, otherwise remove this sentence]. “We’re excited to see what he can bring to the team.”

The addition of Collins provides the Warriors with another playmaking option, addressing a potential need in their backcourt rotation. Knox, a veteran NBA player, fills out the roster to comply with league minimums after a recent trade. The team previously fell below the minimum following the Jimmy Butler trade.
