Warriors News: Avery Bradley, Jordan Bell, Gary Payton II Waived Before Season Opener

The Golden State Warriors shook up their roster with the 2021-22 season approaching.

Nick Friedell of ESPN reported Friday that the Western Conference team announced it waived Avery Bradley, Gary Payton II, Jordan Bell and Mychal Mulder. Head coach Steve Kerr said the plan is to leave the 15th spot on the roster open for the time being.

That will give Golden State some flexibility ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.

Bradley stands out among the players who were waived Friday considering he is a veteran who has been in the league since 2010, won a championship with the 2019-20 Los Angeles Lakers and been selected to two All-Defensive teams.
