Warriors Add Shaun Livingston to Front Office, Seek 'Pipeline' for Minority Hires

Former Warriors point guard Shaun Livingston will be rejoining the organization after being hired as a member of Golden State's front office, according to The Athletic's Marcus Thompson.

Livingston, 35, retired after 14 NBA seasons in 2019. He will join the Warriors as their director of players affairs and engagement.

The addition of Livingston kicks off a concerted effort by the Warriors to hire more minority candidates to their front office, per Thompson. And it appears as though Golden State is looking to expand its goals league-wide.

"The Warriors’ stated goal is to create a pipeline that feeds the league by giving prospects a shot at the lower levels," Thompson wrote.
