SAN FRANCISCO -- Marquese Chriss has been living in basketball purgatory over the last week after being waived by the Warriors for salary-cap purposes. Now, after signing a two-way contract to rejoin Golden State, Chriss is excited to be back with the team.
"It feels good," Chriss said Thursday afternoon. "I feel welcomed, I feel wanted and I think being able to jump right into the flow of things is good for me."
Under his current deal, Chriss will have 24 available days in the NBA. To maximize his time on the roster, the Warriors will hold him out of most practices, leaving him to work out on his own to stay in shape.
