The Golden State Warriors have waived guard Seth Curry with the expectation that he will return to the team at some point in the first couple of months.
The move was necessary because of the Warriors’ lack of financial flexibility in the new salary cap environment. They are hard-capped at the second apron and just below it, so they can’t afford to have an extra veteran minimum contract on their books until early November. Golden State’s 15th and final roster spot will remain vacant until the guard’s anticipated return.
Seth, Stephen Curry’s younger brother, has spent the last few weeks at the team’s facility and on its lone October road trip working out, but he has been deactivated for preseason games.
