"Australian point guard Taran Armstrong signed with Dubai Basketball in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday, according to multiple reports. 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."
"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."
