SAN FRANCISCO >> The Warriors waived Kevin Knox II on Saturday, giving the wing a chance to latch on with another team or pursue opportunities elsewhere.

Knox, 25, had a strong Summer League and training camp for the Warriors. He averaged 17.5 points per game in four Summer League contests, shooting 46% overall.

The Warriors are also waiving Jackson Rowe and Blake Hinson. Their Exhibit 10 contracts incentivize them to stick with the organization with the G League Santa Cruz Warriors.

The deadline to make decisions on players under training camp deals was 2 p.m.

Golden State had signed Knox to a non-guaranteed training camp deal. The ninth pick in the 2018 draft started his career with the Knicks before spending time with the Hawks, Pistons and Blazers.

In 306 career NBA games, Knox has averaged 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds. At 6-foot-7, he has the potential to play either the three or the four in small-ball lineups as a floor-spacer.

Rowe and Hinson, each undrafted players, had solid camps as similarly rangy wings. Rowe, 27, averaged 9.7 points in 16 games for the Santa Cruz Warriors last year. Hinson last starred at Pittsburgh as a senior, shooting a career-best 42.1% from 3 while averaging 18.5 points.

The Warriors roster is likely set at 14, with one roster slot left open. At the moment, Golden State is too close to their first-apron hard cap to fill their 15th spot. Their three two-way players are rookie Quinten Post, steady guard Pat Spencer and Reece Beekman, an undrafted guard out of Virginia.

Here are the 14 rostered Warriors players heading into next week’s regular-season debut.

Guards: Steph Curry, De’Anthony Melton, Brandin Podziemski

Wings: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters III, Gui Santos

Bigs: Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, Kyle Anderson, Trayce Jackson-Davis

Two-ways: Spencer, Post, Beekman

UNBEATEN PRESEASON >> The Warriors were supposed to make their preseason finale a dress rehearsal game, but their plans got nixed when Steph Curry sprained his right index finger and he was sidelined out of precaution.

It wouldn’t have been much of a true test, anyway. The Lakers, on the second night of a bizarre preseason back-to-back, sat just about every notable player. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves didn’t play, making the game more like varsity-versus-JV than even an exhibition.

Against the Lakers’ skeleton crew, Golden State skated to a 132-74 victory to cap a perfect 6-0 preseason. They’re the only team in the NBA to go undefeated in the preseason.

To beat Los Angeles, the Warriors shot 58.3% and posted a 21:5 assist-to-turnover ratio in the first half before completely running the Lakers out of Chase Center. Kuminga scored a team-high 17 points and six Warriors registered double digits in points. Bronny James, in a starting role for the Lakers, scored 17 points on 7-for-17 shooting.

The next time the Warriors play a game, it’ll be in Portland for their season opener next Wednesday.

“We’ve had a great preseason,” Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said postgame. “We’ve had a lot of competition, we’ve had every guy coming in in good shape. Playing hard, playing well, playing together. Tonight, obviously, was not a fair fight given the Lakers sat all their guys. But it didn’t take away from how we played, how hard we played. I’m really pleased with our progress to this point, and it’ll be fun to get started for real.”

The Warriors blitzed Los Angeles from the start. They started the same jumbo-sized lineup as they did in Las Vegas against the Lakers, only with De’Anthony Melton in Curry’s spot. That group hit seven of its first nine shots, with almost everything coming in the paint.

Aside from a couple defensive hiccups from Kuminga, the unit dominated like it should. Then the bench came in after seven minutes and scored 13 unanswered points, pushing the pace and draining a pair of 3s.

Podziemski, in his first game since breaking his nose, scored 10 points in his first six minutes. He canned a pair of triples, one off an excellent extra pass from Hield, and got rewarded for well-timed backdoor cuts.

Podziemski has played in a protective mask before, when he broke his nose in college at Santa Clara, but there was still a bit of an adjustment period for him with the translucent mask.

“It’s terrible,” Podziemski said postgame. “I hate it. There was a play where I inbounded the ball and came off a screen by our bench in the first quarter, and I looked up to shoot but all I saw was the mask, so I didn’t shoot it.”

On the defensive end, though, Podziemski said he feels like he can get his nose into more plays. He took two charges against the Lakers and the mask came in handy when he got pushed forehead-first into the broadcast booth.

In the opening quarter in which Golden State won, 36-18, Moody didn’t get off the bench. Although the dress rehearsal got canceled, Moody being the 11th Warrior to touch the court is noteworthy. The Warriors have 13 players for 10 rotation spots. Kerr has several tough conversations to have.

Moody, the team’s leading preseason scorer, has had a tremendous offseason, and has earned playing time on merit, but still could get squeezed out of the crowded rotation.

Kuminga, entering his fourth year like Moody, was featured more in the half court than in recent preseason games.
