Joseph was waived by the Pacers on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Joseph was traded from the Warriors to the Pacers on Thursday but won't remain with his new organization. The 32-year-old had an inconsistent role off the bench for Golden State to begin the regular season, so it's unclear whether he'll find a meaningful role elsewhere.
Joseph and cash were traded from the Warriors on Thursday to the Pacers for a second-round pick, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
This seems like a move simply to shore up backcourt depth. Joseph doesn't project as an every-game player and will presumably be behind Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell on the depth chart.

Warriors' Cory Joseph: Underwhelms again Saturday
Rotowire
Joseph logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Saturday's 129-118 loss to Milwaukee.
Joseph continues to play meaningful minutes for the Warriors despite failing to score more than four points in all but one game this season. The Warriors are scraping the bottom of the barrel right now, having lost seven of their past 10 games. Other than taking minutes away from younger players, Joseph offers nothing in terms of fantasy value, even in the deepest of leagues.

Warriors' Cory Joseph: Plays 20 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Joseph ended with three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 loss to the Thunder.
Joseph has been on the fringes of the Warriors' rotation for most of the early portion of the regular season, but he's now played double-digit minutes in back-to-back matchups. However, his uptick in playing time has presumably been due to Stephen Curry (ankle) missing back-to-back matchups. Once Curry is back in action, Joseph's role will likely decrease once again.

Warriors' Cory Joseph: Dealing with back issue
Rotowire
The Warriors announced Monday that Joseph is dealing with a lower back lumbar strain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Joseph signed with the Warriors at the beginning of July, but he'll be unavailable for the start of the preseason due to his injury. However, he said he's dealt with a similar injury in the past and doesn't expect it to be a long-term concern, Madeline Kenney of The San Jose Mercury News reports. A better idea of his status should come into focus once he's re-evaluated, but it's possible he's at least eased into action to begin the regular season. Once he's healthy, Joseph will compete for a backcourt role behind Chris Paul and Stephen Curry.
Joseph signed a one-year contract with the Warriors on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Joseph had been with the Pistons since March of 2021, and he averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 assists in 19.8 minutes per game over 62 appearances with the club during the 2022-23 campaign. The Warriors are reshaping their backcourt during the offseason, and Joseph will compete for a role behind Chris Paul and Stephen Curry this season.
