The Golden State Warriors are looking to add veteran depth for the 2024-25 NBA season.

Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported that the team brought in several players for workouts, including Justin Holiday and Nassir Little.

“As has become a September tradition, the Golden State Warriors’ practice facility is currently filled with high-energy games on a regular basis, mixing roster players with younger players and veteran free agents still seeking an invite to camp,” Slater wrote. “Justin Holiday and Nassir Little, league sources told The Athletic, are among several experienced forwards who have moved to San Francisco in recent weeks.”

Holiday spent 11 seasons in the NBA and played for 10 teams during his career, including a stint with the Warriors in 2014-15. He averaged eight points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 680 games and the 35-year-old could bring solid experience off the bench.

Little could be considered a recapture project, as he is only 24 years old and a former first-round pick. He has played five NBA seasons, averaging 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 237 games.

Both players could be signed cheaply, but it would require shedding some players from the current roster. The Warriors won’t be able to fill the 15th spot on the roster because of their cap holdout and only two players have non-guaranteed contracts for 2024-25, according to Slater.

Still, Holiday, Little and others hope they can show Warriors management something and stake their claim to rekindle their careers with the franchise.
