Warriors Make Roster Cuts, Part Ways with Gay and McGruder

The Golden State Warriors have released veteran forward Rudy Gay and guard Rodney McGruder, trimming their roster to 16 players ahead of the upcoming NBA season. The team plans to add a 14th player to fill out the 15-man roster within the first two weeks of the season. Gay, who signed a one-year contract with the Warriors, provided veteran leadership during training camp and the preseason. McGruder, who also signed a one-year deal, saw limited playing time due to a concussion but had a solid performance in the team's preseason loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors now have roster flexibility for potential future moves.
