The terms of the deal were not revealed.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Golden State Warriors and Taevion Kinsey have agreed to a deal, league sources told <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hoopshype?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@hoopshype<\/a>. Kinsey was on a 10-day and two-way contract with the Utah Jazz in 2024. He was recently selected for the NBA G League United Team in the 2025 FIBA Intercontinental Cup in September <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g0Nd7PPEY9\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/g0Nd7PPEY9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Scotto (@MikeAScotto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeAScotto\/status\/1959628306325577861?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_k81emooj7\">Kinsey, an undrafted guard who previously spent four years with Marshall, came into the league joining the Jazz in 2023, beginning on an Exhibit-10 training camp deal before the 2023-24 campaign, remaining on the roster throughout training camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_eyqd5ed6p\">Though it wouldn&#8217;t be before Kinsey would get waived before the season started. Kinsey would remain on the open market for a couple of months before the Jazz eventually would sign him to a 10-day contract in the middle of the season, yet not to be signed on for the regular season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_r2xewqdva\">He then found his way to a third stint with the Jazz, being upgraded to a two-way contract in July 2024, suiting up for the team during their summer league action, saw that status soon revert back to an Exhibit-10 deal, effectively coming up short on the roster cut for two straight years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_73nvmnqtu\">All of that being said, despite having multiple stints with the Jazz over the past two years, it never resulted in him suiting up for a regular season game throughout the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_jsfwp1e21\">In the G League, Kinsey appeared in three games across two years. The 6-foot-5 guard played in an average of 36 minutes a night through those showings, averaging a collective 13.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists, pairing with 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 60.9% shooting from the field and 42.9% from three.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_6m2zmktq7\">Limited, yet impressive numbers for Kinsey in that timeframe, inevitably landing him a new opportunity outside of the Jazz with the Golden State Warriors late this offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_jwbthqqmw\">It remains to be seen if Kinsey will have the staying power in the Golden State compared to how his time transpired in Utah. But if not, it could be a prelude to a potential G League run with the Warriors&#8217; affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The player movement ahead of next NBA season has continued, with one former member of the Utah Jazz&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92639,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,85],"class_list":["post-92638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92638\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
