The Golden State Warriors are actively seeking ways to enhance their roster for the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season. In their latest effort, the team has invited veteran forward Dāvis Bertāns to work out with them.
Sources indicate that while a formal training camp invite has not yet been extended to Bertāns, the Warriors are considering various free agents for potential inclusion in their camp. This move suggests they are exploring all options to strengthen their lineup.
NBA insider Marc Stein first reported this development, citing an Instagram story by Arturs Kalnitis, Bertāns’ agent and CEO of BSA Basketball. The story mentioned that Bertāns would be preparing for the new season with the Warriors, and Kalnitis wished him good luck in the Bay Area. This news has sparked interest in Bertāns’ potential role with the team.
Known as the “Latvian Laser” for his exceptional shooting skills, Bertāns, 31, played in 43 games during the 2023-24 season with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Charlotte Hornets. Throughout his career, he has maintained an impressive 39.6-percent shooting accuracy from beyond the arc. As he enters his ninth NBA season, Bertāns is eager to secure a spot on a roster, and the Warriors may be a promising opportunity given their need for additional scoring.
The Warriors are set to begin their training camp on October 1 in Hawaii, where they will also participate in a preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This camp will be crucial for evaluating potential new players and finalizing the roster for the upcoming season.
