Golden State Warriors Sign 25-Year-Old Guard Taevion Kinsey

The Golden State Warriors have signed 25-year-old guard Taevion Kinsey, marking their first roster addition during the 2025 offseason amid ongoing contract negotiations with Jonathan Kuminga. Kinsey, a standout at Marshall University and the school's all-time leading scorer, has yet to appear in an NBA game despite previous 10-day and two-way contracts with the Utah Jazz. Last season, he played for the Salt Lake City Stars in the G League, averaging 12.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists while shooting over 51% from the field and 33% from three-point range. Although Kinsey’s signing is unlikely to significantly impact the Warriors' immediate roster, he could develop into a valuable rotation player, especially given Golden State's history of nurturing talent through their G League affiliate in Santa Cruz. The Warriors continue to pursue veteran players to strengthen their roster, with names like Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, Seth Curry, and Malcolm Brogdon reportedly in consideration. Kinsey’s contract details remain unclear, and he is expected to compete for a roster spot during training camp, potentially spending time with the Santa Cruz Warriors.
