The Warriors have decided to waive Alfonzo McKinnie after he spent just one season with the team to free up space for the big man on the 15-man roster, according to The Athletic.
Chriss has spent time with three teams in four seasons since entering the league as the No. 8 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, but now he has a chance to stick with Golden State.
The 22-year-old has averaged 9.5 points and 8.3 rebounds while shooting 60.9% from the field in four preseason contests with the Warriors. He could help solidify a frontcourt ravaged by injuries if he can stay consistent.
McKinnie appeared in 72 games for Golden State last year while averaging 13.9 minutes as a wing — a position that has suddenly become a question mark for the team.
The Warriors will host the Clippers in their 2019-20 season opener Oct. 24.
