Warriors two-way guard Damion Lee is playing the best basketball of his career.
He's averaging 18.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals over the last five games, while shooting nearly 55 percent from 3-point territory.
The only problem is that he's used up 34 of the allotted 45 days he's allowed to be with Golden State. So assuming he doesn't practice again -- and suits up for the next 11 contests -- his 45 days will expire after the Warriors' game against the Blazers on Jan. 20.
But as Marc Stein of The New York Times reported Tuesday morning:
Also: Golden State is actively exploring ways to create the needed flexibility to keep Damion Lee on the roster after the 45 days on his two-way deal soon expire.
