Player News
Dragan Bender has signed a deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
It's reportedly a 3-month deal with an option to extend it for the full season. This means it's a possibility that an NBA team scoops him up at some point next season. The former No. 4 pick back in 2016, Bender had unsuccessful stints with the Suns and Bucks but did have some decent moments with the Warriors, averaging 9.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 triples in 21.7 minutes.
Dragan Bender hit 8-of-12 shots and two 3-pointers for a team-high 23 points, seven rebounds and three assists in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Clippers.
He also made all five of his free throws and the 23 points tied his career high. Of course, this was a garbage-time special in a blowout and the return of Draymond Green (knee) would hurt Bender, so it's tough to get overly excited here. But if you rolled the dice on him in DFS or in any other league, congratulations are in order.
Dragan Bender scored three points with five rebounds, four assists and one turnover in 16 minutes against the Raptors on Thursday.
He shifted to basically a straight C2 role, which is a big change. In the previous five, he had 49 minutes next to Marquese Chriss, so this new rotation tweak is bad news for Bender. He's a drop in most formats.
The Warriors have signed Dragan Bender to a second 10-day deal.
Head coach Steve Kerr spoke highly of Bender after his first 10-day stint expired, and the Dubs re-signing him may indicate that Draymond Green (knee) could be headed for another game on the sidelines, as he's currently listed as questionable tonight. Bender has been hit-or-miss in Golden State, so he'll need to be a bit more consistent during this second 10-day stint in order to lock up a rest-of-season deal.
