Since Armstrong signed with a non-NBA team, the Warriors have the ability to continue issuing him qualifying offers in future seasons to retain his restricted free agent rights.<\/p>\n<p>The Serbian club KK Partizan was also reportedly interested in signing him. The 23-year-old, who also played in the Warriors\u2019 Summer League team, joins a Dubai Basketball team that made its debut in the EuroLeague in late September with an 89-76 win over Partizan.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong played for the Cairns Taipans in the NBL before joining the Warriors.
