The Warriors’ star-studded backcourt has NBA bloodlines. Now they’ve added a center with Hall of Fame pedigree.
Golden State has signed Scottie Pippen’s nephew, Kavion Pippen, the team announced Monday without releasing terms of the agreement. Unlike his famous uncle, Kavion Pippen will have a much tougher road to make a regular season roster, particulary since he’s mostly an emergency addition for the Warriors.
Pippen was signed to help the Warriors’ depleted frontcourt, where they’re already without starter Willie Cauley-Stein (foot), Kevon Looney (hamstring) and Alen Smailagic (ankle).
