The Golden State Warriors have signed shooting guard Mychal Mulder to a multi-year contract, the team announced on Twitter. It’s a non-guaranteed minimum contract, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic (Twitter link).
The rookie guard out of Kentucky was briefly a free agent after his 10-day contract with the Warriors expired Saturday night. Golden State could have signed him to a second 10-day deal, but opted for the long-term arrangement.
After spending three years in the G League, Mulder, 25, made a strong impression in his first real NBA opportunity. He averaged 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in six games, making two starts. Coach Steve Kerr indicated after Saturday’s game that the Warriors liked Mulder and intended to bring him back.
The signing leaves Golden State $310K under the luxury tax, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks (Twitter link). They have two players on 10-day contracts, which each carry a $91,557 tax hit. Chasson Randle‘s deal will expire Thursday, while Dragan Bender is signed through Saturday. Marks adds that signing Bender for the rest of the season on Sunday would cost the team $293K.
