Warriors Make Roster Move That Doesn't Address Wing After Moody's Injury

The Golden State Warriors are giving center Omer Yurtseven a second 10-day contract, per ESPN's [Anthony Slater](https://x.com/anthonyVslater/status/2036828476284842390?s=20).

Yurtseven's first 10-day contract expired Tuesday. He played in five of the six games during his 10 days on the roster, averaging 3.2 points and 3.2 rebounds.

After Moses Moody's season-ending knee injury, the Warriors could have given a 10-day contract to a wing like Kevin Knox II instead of a center. But with Al Horford and Quinten Post banged up, they still have a need for a center, so keeping Yurtseven makes sense.

Assuming the contract is signed Wednesday, Yurtseven will be eligible to play for the Warriors' next five games.

If the Warriors wanted to keep him past that point, they'd have to sign him to a standard contract, as NBA rules say you can't give a player three 10-day contracts in a season.
