The Golden State Warriors’ regular season tip off against the powerful Los Angeles Clippers is just five days away, so cuts are in order.
Saturday afternoon, the Warriors announced officially that Alfonzo McKinnie had been waived.
In 72 games with the Warriors, McKinnie collected a .487 FG% with a .356 3PT% with a .564 FG efficiency. With Durant sidelined with his ankle injury, McKinnie was a key piece in the Warriors’ Finals run in 2019.
Head coach Steve Kerr sung the forward’s praises prior to Friday’s game. If McKinnie clears waivers, one of the 29 other (possibly contending) teams in need of some scoring and a solid rebounder off the bench can claim the 27-year-old.
