Official waiver in Golden State
The Golden State Warriors have waived center Jacksen Moni, effective September 18, leaving him without an NBA team after a waiver transaction that confirms his exit from the main roster. The move is official and fits the usual preseason routine for players tied to G League affiliate Santa Cruz Warriors.
The transaction appears in NBA.com oficial and was reported by Hoops Rumors, which places the cut shortly after Moni signed an Exhibit 10 contract and within the same procedural dynamic Golden State uses to secure development-player rights.
Moni profile
Moni, a 23-year-old center out of North Dakota State, already knows the franchise environment: he played for the Santa Cruz Warriors during the 2025-26 G League season. In 40 games he averaged 9.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 23.5 minutes per contest, with 1.3 combined steals plus blocks.
Hoops Rumors notes that the waiver does not break Golden State project continuity: Moni remains positioned to return to Santa Cruz and follow the Exhibit 10 pathway, which frees a training-camp roster spot while allowing a bonus if he spends at least 60 days with the affiliate.
What the waiver means
By leaving the Warriors main roster, Moni no longer occupies a preseason spot and becomes a free agent until his next step within the franchise ecosystem is defined. The most likely scenario leads back to the Santa Cruz Warriors, where he already spent last season in the G League.
For Golden State, the cut fits the development structure the Warriors are consolidating before training camp, prioritizing G League rights control rather than locking roster spots on the main NBA team.
Roster context
Moni waiver comes in September, within the procedural wave before training camp. The transaction repeats the dynamic the Warriors have used with other camp profiles signed to Exhibit 10 deals in this market window, alongside the additions of Nick Boyd and Elias Ralph.
