Heading into training camp, the Golden State Warriors had a group of players auditioning for the 15th and final roster spot on the roster. After camp and preseason, the Warriors waived all four, opting to keep the 15th spot on the roster open for the start of the season.
One of the players released was veteran guard Avery Bradley. The 11-year-veteran signed with Golden State prior to the start of the 2021 training camp.
Despite being waived by Golden State, Bradley will be on the court for Tuesday’s season opener. On Monday, Bradley was claimed by the Los Angeles Lakers off waivers. Bradley and the Lakers will host the Warriors on Tuesday night to start the 2021-22 NBA season.
