The Golden State Warriors have released guard Miles Kelly, who led the team in scoring during the preseason. Kelly, a 6-foot-5 second-year player from Auburn, scored 28 points in a preseason game against the Trail Blazers on October 4, 2026, contributing six 3-pointers and achieving a team-high plus-14 on/off margin despite the team's 123-118 loss.
On October 8, 2026, the Warriors announced the signing of Tyler Burton on a non-guaranteed deal, known as an Exhibit 10 contract. Burton, a 6-foot-7 wing who went undrafted from Villanova, averaged 10.8 points and 4.2 rebounds in 10 games with the Memphis Grizzlies last season. This move is aimed at providing depth at the wing position, as the Warriors will be without their top two wings, Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody, for the beginning of the season.
Despite his strong performance, Kelly's release surprised some fans, especially given that he had scored six points in six minutes against the Lakers the night before. Coach Steve Kerr did not play Kelly in the Warriors' 111-106 win over the Kings on October 7, 2026.
