Miles Kelly, a second-year guard for the Golden State Warriors who scored 28 points in a preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers, was waived by the team just days later to make room for Tyler Burton on an Exhibit 10 deal. Despite Kelly’s strong performance and his ability to contribute from beyond the arc, with six made three-pointers, coach Steve Kerr decided not to keep him on the roster after a series of preseason games where he played limited minutes. The Warriors brought in Burton, who averaged 10.8 points per game last season for the Memphis Grizzlies, to address depth at the wing position as they prepare for the regular season without key players Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody early on.

Story summary
On Sunday, the Golden State Warriors waived second-year guard Miles Kelly after he scored 28 points in a recent preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Despite leading the team in scoring during that game on October 11, Kelly was cut to make room for Tyler Burton, an undrafted player from Villanova who averaged 10.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game last season with the Memphis Grizzlies. The Warriors signed Burton on a non-guaranteed deal, known as an Exhibit 10 contract, which can be converted into a two-way or minimum salary contract. This move addresses a need for additional depth at the wing position while the team's top two wings, Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody, are sidelined to start the season.
