Warriors Rumors: Jordan Bell Given Qualifying Offer, Will Be Restricted FA
The Golden State Warriors extended a qualifying offer to Jordan Bell, which will make him a restricted free agent when the market opens Sunday at 6 p.m. ET.
Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic reported the update Friday. The Athletic's Anthony Slater noted it's a $1.8 million offer.
Bell averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in limited action across 68 appearances for the star-studded Warriors during the regular season.
The 24-year-old Los Angeles native took on a bigger role during the Western Conference Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers as the Dubs' injuries began to mount, averaging 6.8 points in the four-game sweep.
In May, Bell told Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic he wanted to remain with the Warriors and wasn't interested in chasing more minutes with a non-contender.
Now, Golden State will maintain the right to match any offer he's given in free agency.
