Despite rumors that saw him linked with European teams after seven years in the NBA, Dario Saric agreed to a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Between Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder, in the 2022-23 season, the 29-year-old Croatian power forward put up 6.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.
After growing up in Croatia, in 2014 Dario Saric moved to Turkey to join Anadolu Efes, where he attracted interest from the US. Being selected in the 2014 NBA Draft with the No.12 overall pick by the Orlando Magic, his rights were traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, where he started his NBA career.
He then went on to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves and for the Oklahoma City Thunder, spending the vast majority of his American experience in Phoenix. With the Suns, he played from 2019 to 2023.
Free agent F Dario Saric has agreed on a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, sources tell ESPN. Saric was one of the most sought-after players left on the market.
