The Golden State Warriors waived veteran center Anderson Varejao on Friday.
The move clears the way for the Warriors to sign guard Briante Weber to a 10-day contract, league sources told The Vertical.
Varejao, 34, appeared in 14 games (one start) with the Warriors this season, posting averages of 1.3 points and 1.9 rebounds in 6.6 minutes per contest.
The Santa Teresa, Brazil, native was originally acquired by the Warriors on Feb. 22, 2016, and re-signed on July 17, 2016. He appeared in 36 games (one start) with Golden State over two seasons after spending the first 11-plus seasons of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 6-foot-11, 273-pound Varejao owns career averages of 7.3 points and 7.2 rebounds in 627 NBA games (209 starts).
Weber, 24, was the NBA Development League’s Player of the Month for January, averaging 21 points, eight assists, six rebounds and 3.6 steals for the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Miami Heat’s D-League affiliate.
Weber was a college standout at Virginia Commonwealth.
