NBA squads. He’s expected to play in the team’s preseason games against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday and against the Jazz on October 17.
Lamb averaged 6.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game for the Warriors last season while appearing in 62 games during the regular season. He also saw action in six postseason contests.
Initially signed as a two-way player in Golden State, Lamb’s contract was converted to a standard deal in March. He became an unrestricted free agent when the Warriors didn’t extend him a qualifying offer.
He’s also had stints with Houston and San Antonio.
The Breakers began their 2023/24 NBL season 1-1 before coming to the U.S. for the preseason games.
