DeRozan Joins Warriors for 17th Season
15 Aug
Summary
- DeMar DeRozan joins Stephen Curry's Warriors team.
- He signed for $8.4 million, his lowest earnings since 2012.
- This move brings DeRozan closer to his California roots.
DeMar DeRozan is set to play his 17th NBA season alongside Stephen Curry with the Golden State Warriors. This development follows his departure from the Kings, ending speculation about a return to Toronto or a move to Miami. His agent confirmed the news on August 13th.
DeRozan's new contract is reportedly worth $8.4 million, a notable decrease from the over $24 million he earned last season and his lowest salary since the 2012-13 season with the Raptors. This move keeps him in his home state of California, near Los Angeles.
The Warriors are expected to benefit from DeRozan's veteran experience, a need highlighted by their struggles during Stephen Curry's absence last season. It is anticipated that DeRozan will play a starting role, potentially complementing Curry's game effectively.
