The Golden State Warriors filled their final roster spot Sunday evening, agreeing to sign former Gonzaga big man and 2026 NBA Summer League standout Graham Ike to a two-way contract. Although the Warriors had all 15 of their standard roster spots filled, they had one two-way slot remaining. Ike will now join guard LJ Cryer and forward Malevy Leons on two-way deals.
Ike, a 24-year-old, played four seasons in college, two with Wyoming and two more with Gonzaga. Last season with the Bulldogs, Ike led the WCC in points per game, averaging 19.9, to go along with eight rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks. During Golden State's summer league championship run, Ike averaged 9.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists.
Playing behind players like
Kristaps Porzingis, Draymond Green, Al Horford and Charles Bassey, Ike may find it difficult to earn NBA minutes as a rookie. That said, he'll be able to hone his skills with the Santa Cruz Warriors, serving as a depth piece if necessary.
