Waters took a scary fall during Friday's win over Memphis but has avoided a long-term injury.

Warriors' Lindy Waters: Struggles with first unit
Waters logged three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 win over New Orleans.
The absences of Stephen Curry (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (back) has forced coach Steve Kerr to explore the team's depth. He opted for Lindy Waters to start over Buddy Hield after a good performance off the bench in the first game against the Pelicans. The success was not replicated in the rematch, and Waters struggled for much of his 30 minutes on the floor. Waters may have avoided a trip back to the G League based on his early success, but he'll sink down the depth chart once the team is fully healthy.

Waters joins the Warriors after riding the bench for the Thunder for three seasons.

Warriors' Lindy Waters: Leading scorer Saturday
Waters tallied 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 15 minutes during Saturday's 91-90 preseason win over the Clippers.
Waters connected on a game-high five three-point field goals Saturday, and he joined Moses Moody as the only Golden State players to reach double-digit scoring.

Warriors' Lindy Waters: Dealt to Golden State
The Thunder traded Waters to the Warriors on Thursday in exchange for the No. 52 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports.
Waters saw his averages decrease over his first three years in the league, and he wasn't a consistent part of the Thunder's rotation last year, averaging 3.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per game over 38 regular-season appearances. He had a more prominent role when he suited up for the G League's Oklahoma City Blue, averaging 21.6 points and 6.5 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per game over 10 regular-season outings. Waters has a $2.2 million team option for next season, and the Warriors plan to exercise it to use him as a depth option.
