Anthony Lamb is coming off a productive year where he appeared in 62 regular season games (and six NBA playoff games) with the Golden State Warriors.
The 25-year-old averaged 6.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per contest while shooting 47.1% from the field and 36.7% from the three-point range.
This summer, Lamb became a free agent, and Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports that he will sign a deal with the New Zealand Breakers.
Via Scotto: "Free agent Anthony Lamb has agreed to a deal with the NBL’s New Zealand Breakers, which includes an NBA opt-out clause, sources told @hoopshype. The Breakers will play two games coming up against the Trail Blazers and Jazz. Lamb appeared in 62 games for the Warriors last season."
Lamb has played three seasons in the NBA for the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Warriors.
His career averages are 6.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per contest while shooting 44.7% from the field and 35.3% from the three-point range in 88 regular season games (he has also appeared in six NBA playoff games).
Since Lamb is still in the prime of his career, and has proven to be a productive role player, it would not be a surprise to see him back in the NBA soon.
Meanwhile, the Warriors are coming off a year where they were the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
They beat the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the NBA playoffs but were eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers (in the second round).
