"Because Golden State tendered a qualifying offer to the 6-foot-5 Armstrong in June, the NBA team retains his exclusive negotiating rights in the event that he returns to the NBA. The 23-year-old signed with the Warriors in February and played 11 games for Santa Cruz, but did not suit up for the Warriors in the regular season or playoffs. Before that, Armstrong won the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year award at Cal Baptist in 2022."
"Armstrong averaged 7.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists for the Warriors across five Summer League games in Las Vegas and San Francisco in July. He credited the Golden State veterans for his improvement over the summer. It was such a cool experience being in the playoff locker room, and being able to sit in and be a part of those meetings and see what goes into preparing for a game seven, Armstrong told the Bay Area News Group in July. He was previously linked to Serbian powerhouse KK Partizan, a perennial participant in the EuroLeague competition. Dubai will also participate in the EuroLeague this season."
Taran Armstrong signed with Dubai Basketball in the United Arab Emirates and is expected to play a featured role as the club joins EuroLeague competition. Golden State tendered a qualifying offer in June, retaining exclusive NBA negotiating rights if Armstrong returns. The 23-year-old signed with the Warriors in February and appeared in 11 games for Santa Cruz without playing in the Warriors’ regular season or playoffs. Armstrong won WAC Freshman of the Year at Cal Baptist in 2022 and played professionally in Australia after leaving college. He averaged 7.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists across five Summer League games and credited veteran Warriors for his improvement. The Warriors added depth at shooting guard this offseason, including Seth Curry, Brandin Podziemski taking a larger role, second-round pick Will Richard, and Buddy Hield as a sixth-man.
