March 15: The Warriors’ 10-day deal with Yurtseven is now official, according to the team (Twitter link). It will run through March 24, covering Golden State’s next six games.
March 14: The Warriors plan to sign free agent center Omer Yurtseven to a 10-day contract, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line (Twitter link).
Agents Keith Glass and Luke Glass confirmed the news to Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
Yurtseven, who averaged 5.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game in 113 NBA regular season appearances with the Heat and Jazz from 2021-24, signed a G League deal 10 days ago and had been playing for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Rockets’ affiliate.
In three games with the Vipers this month, Yurtseven averaged 23.0 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 29.7 minutes per contest. The 27-year-old converted 56.9% of his field goals and 87.5% of his free throws in a small sample size.
The Turkish big man has spent most of the past two years overseas playing for Panathinaikos, but recently parted ways with the Greek EuroLeague team.
Yurtseven will provide a strong rebounding presence for Golden State, which has been hit hard by a spate of recent injuries.
In addition to Jimmy Butler (torn right ACL) and Stephen Curry (runner’s knee), who have been out since January, Moses Moody has missed the past six games due to a right wrist sprain and four other players (Draymond Green, Al Horford, Seth Curry and Quinten Post) were hurt either before or during Friday’s loss to Minnesota.
Veteran big man Horford is expected to miss multiple games due to a right calf injury. The 39-year-old has formally been diagnosed with a soleus (calf) strain, per Anthony Slater of ESPN (Twitter link), while Seth Curry has a left adductor strain. All of the aforementioned players (aside from Post, who’s questionable) are out for Sunday’s game in New York. De’Anthony Melton (left knee injury management) and Kristaps Porzingis (general illness management) are out as well on the first of a back-to-back.
As a three-year veteran, Yurtseven will make $141,463 over the course of his 10 days with Golden State, while the Warriors will carry a $131,970 cap hit. The team had one roster opening and won’t need to waive anyone to add Yurtseven.
Yurtseven is an NBA caliber big in the mold of Steven Adams. In 3 G-League games he averaged 23 & 13 w/ 2.3 BPG in only 30 MPG.
Golden State desperately needs rebounding, especially on the offensive glass, given that their best scorer right now is Brandin Podziemski.
Not a offensive shooter but looks like a rim protector rebounder for the warriors.
No one should be placing any stock in G League stats, especially not *three* games worth. For example, Mac McClung averages 30.0 ppg to lead the league, and he has shown repeatedly that he’s not an NBA-caliber player.
Harrison Ingram leads the G League in rebounds with 12.4 rpg to go along with 16.2 ppg and 4.8 assists. He’s done nothing in limited action in the NBA. Charles Bassey averages 20.5 ppg, 12.3 rpg, and 2.0 blocks. He’s done nothing in the NBA. I wouldn’t expect Yurtseven to have much of an impact.
All 3 of warriors big men are out next game so this is just an emergency big man to eat up minutes. Harford might be out 3 to 5 games. Post is unknown with ankle injury. KP is on minute restrictions.
Yep, agreed. Hope Yurtseven plays well for the Warriors sake but don’t expect anything.
…Are you aware Yurtseven played 3 years in the NBA prior to this…
Bassey has also spent multiple years in the NBA… What are you even going on about?
Both players have more to give to the NBA and professional basketball moving forward than Bismack Biyombo, Mason Plumlee, Taj Gibson, and quite a few other vets who are on standard contracts.
Its okay to discuss the Drew Eubanks’ of the world. Not everyone gets an opportunity to draft James Wiseman in the high lottery.
Yeah ——- Warriors even now still looking for a center ——- “Fuhgeddaboudit”
Davey did you watch Wisconsin vs Michigan. Didn’t I tell you about Lendenborg. Big ten player of the year. Won it with a 3pt shot lol. Great 2 way player. Can replace Dra man. Dra can mentor him.
35 mins, 12 pts, 5 rebounds, 3 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk.
A PF with size who does it lol. At 23 yrs old. He is ready to help now. He is projected 14-20. Cause he is 23. If he was 19 he would be top 8 easy.
Why do you think the warriors are tanking. Its because they want to move up in the draft.
Not tanking arc. They are losing, get it right. Tanking would be to sit Steph for season. And other guys banged up. They should just play for next yr. That 15-16 pick is a good pick.
They are tanking. According to insiders they are not sure Curry will be ready playoff time. They most likely not play him until play in. They are already preparing for next year. They know the team is not going very far. So tanking to get a better draft pick. YES Once trailblazers pass them they should move up to 11th pick. In this draft that is a good pick.
Who are these “insiders” that feed you such reliable information?
Same insiders that said Curry’s knee was worse than reported and he would be out for an extended time. They were right about that. Do you really think the warriors are saying once Curry back we will win a championship? Of course not the team is not winning this year.
Not even worth it. Yeah look to draft man. It’s a good draft. There is hope there. Reason I mention Lendenborg. Is cause he is older and undervalued. He would be a great fit imo. Smart player. Think a young Horford, more athletic. Watch the Michigan vs Perdue game tomorrow lol.
The warriors are looking at big wings. They already started looking at the players to draft. Lendenborg is a high IQ player so that checks one of the things warriors look for in players.
He is 23 yr old. He can help right away. Is why I look at him. Warriors probably take a guard. Draft is loaded with guards
Warriors should take the best player possible or trade them for a young and relatively inexpensive guy and then get rid of Seth, Podz, GP2, Melton and Spencer and get better players who are more consistent or fit GSW’s system more.
Perdue beat Michigan tiday. Well coached team. Some nice bigs here.
Lendenborg — 20 pts in a loss. Two nice centers in this fane. Probably go inn2nd round. Imo Lendenborg is a great fit for Warriors. Should be there when they pick.
Tanking would mean losing games by 50 points all the time.
They are contending and punting the regular season, and viewing the regular season like it means nothing, if it means Steph returns in the play-in game.
Do not underestimate Playoffs Steph.
Can GSW win the title from the 10th seed? Would you all claim Curry still not the GOAT if that happened?
Oh gawd. Another year of you pitching a hissy fits because Dunleavy doesn’t do what you say. Get a life.
No 10 yr old. Its cause posters like you trash him. Has nothing to do with Dunleavy or the Warriors. They missed on pick. I am 100% right about it. But you clowns still trash Raynaud. Go learn the game. So you can make a point. You are clueless about ball. All you do is insult the people that teach your DArs. Boring as Shhhh
Instead of searching the guy. Looking him up. You are already trashing him. Not having a clue who he is. Just BRILLIANT clown.
So, I take it that means you are going to criticize me if Dunleavy decides not to take Yaxel. Got it. I still don’t understand what you think I have to do with the Warriors drafting decisions. But, you will keep complaining.
Why don’t you search and read and watch his tapes. Then you can make an informed criticism. Rather than just YAPPING like a 10 yr old.
Yaxel Lendeborg — Can you handle that. I have posted his scouting report already. Takes 30 mins to learn all you need. Grow up
Whether or not I look at the scouting reports is irrelevant. I look at a lot players. If Dunleavy doesn’t select any of them, I move on. No reason to be hung up it.
You just trash him cause others like him. I doubt you ever look anyone up. You should know what you argue about. talking. Shhh is all you do. You just admitted you don’t look anyone up. So you been trashing Raynaud since draft for what reason …
UFn Lost child …..
I looked at Yaxel before he withdrew from the draft last year. Some of what I wanted almost worked out. I didn’t say anything negative about Yaxel. You are making that up. Whether or not the Warriors go after him is out of my hands. Dunleavy makes those decisions.
So whats this CHILD —- you wouldn’t know talent if dropped to the 42nd pick. LMAO

Oh gawd. Another year of you pitching a hissy fits because Dunleavy doesn’t do what you say. Get a life.
Why would I care who he takes or what he does. I talk about you CHILD. Disrespecting Raynaud. Warriors miss on Raynaud is well documented. But as we can ALL see. You are still here disrespecting Raynaud 65 gms after the draft LMAO. You don’t even have the respect to learn who a player is. Instead you rather trash him. You are a F n CHILD.
I am only giving you a player you should consider. Yet you throw a hissy fit. All your posts are here. Don’t you even realize that CHILD.
Seriously. Ever single scouting report out there is going to document a players weaknesses. And they all come to the same conclusion for Raynaud. He is weak defensively. He didn’t fit what they are looking for. If the Warriors took him, he would have been 4th on the depth chart. He would have spent the season at Santa Cruz. Raynaud started the season in Stockton. The Kings had multiple injuries that forced them to play Raynaud. He took advantage of an opportunity that he wouldn’t have gotten with the Warriors.
Why keep going on and on about him?
As for Yaxel, you are assuming way to much. I look up players and different mock drafts all the time. I have never said anything about him. Why do I need to? And now, you are saying the Warriors have to draft him. And you will be all butt-hurt if they don’t.
Again, I don’t make the decisions for the Warriors. Why go after me?
Leave it to Al to have a hard on for the next Enes Kanter
The irony of you asking anyone else to admit to something.
It’s officially Yurtszn
136k in 10 days….
NBA money is insane
I’m guessing you don’t invest your money in securities??
No…should I?
Absolutely !!
If you did then you’d also see 136k in 10 days at times.
Well I guess I will start doing so then lol
Thanks bro
Omer is still playing basketball?
This guy had got decent big-man fundamentals ex. footwork, hands, jumphook …. just moves at a snail’s pace.
He’s Temu Sengun but GSW need warm bodies, they currently have 8 actives plus maybe Post and Yurt but that Knicks game tomorrow is looking bad bad….which is why the league should focus on not locking in national tv games so far in advance.
The Omer Yurtseven era has begun…
I would guess that you’ve “yurted” at least 8 in the last week or so?
Sorry I couldn’t resist. The minute you tell me to stop I’ll do it immediately. If this doesn’t make you laugh, and instead offends you, I will gladly refrain and do so with apologies.
I think I stayed in Yurt 8 at Treebones one time.
Apparently he isn’t active for the Knicks game tomorrow? Why?
Not beating Knicks in NY lol.
Davey you chk out Yaxel Lendeborg a 23 yr old rookie. He can help next year lol. That’s what Warriors need. Help right away from draft.
Oh yeah, he absolutely would. But would Kerr/MDJ pick him? Nope. They will 100% pick the best 6’1″ player available, smh
“Not beating Knicks in NY lol.”
Turns out Yurt WAS active! And Al, TRAP GAMES exist! hehe
Yeah just look. Three point shooting contests are boring. Can’t watch this. Igot tge volune off watching Marshals and Os ars. Brown is starting to get to me.
