SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors are facing a roster crunch and, by February’s trade deadline, may trade a key contributor in order to keep another.
Guards Damion Lee and Ky Bowman, a starter and key reserve for the Warriors this season, are both on two-way contracts that will force them to spend the rest of their season with the team’s G League affiliate in Santa Cruz if the organization cannot find a way to convert them to standard deals.
Because of the hard cap, the Warriors cannot sign either without first moving a salary to another team.
