The Warriors parted with multiple young players on Wednesday night.
Minutes after Golden State traded young forward Jonathan Kuminga and guard Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for veteran center Kristaps Porziņģis, it dealt center Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Toronto Raptors for a 2026 second-round NBA draft pick, a source confirmed to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole after ESPN’s Shams Charania was first to report the news.
The pick the Warriors will receive originally belonged to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Golden State drafted Jackson-Davis with the No. 57 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and in two-plus seasons with the Warriors, he averaged 6.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game on 63.5-percent shooting from the field in 15.1 minutes per game.
Jackson-Davis’ best season was his rookie year, where he shot 70.2 percent from the field in 68 games (16 starts). He went on to play 62 games last season, with 37 starts, but then fell out of coach Steve Kerr’s rotations for the majority of this season.
The once-promising big man, who was selected to the 2025 Castrol Rising Stars Game, now will provide Toronto with center depth behind Sandro Mamukelashvili while Jakob Poeltl returns from a back injury.
The trade leaves Golden State with Porziņģis, Al Horford and Quinten Post as the team’s three centers.
