Waiver effective in Golden State
The Golden State Warriors have waived Nicholas Boyd effective September 27. The move is already listed as effective: it is an official roster exit, not a pending negotiation, and the guard leaves the first team ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The transaction appears in the NBA.com official record and was picked up by RealGM, which linked the exit to the signing of wing Miles Kelly on an Exhibit 10 contract. None of the references published salary figures, a detailed length or contract clauses.
Nicholas Boyd profile and fit
Boyd, a guard signed to an Exhibit 10 deal the previous week, arrived at training camp as depth for the backcourt rotation. His profile offered preseason minutes without tying up a standard roster spot.
What it means for the roster
For Golden State, the immediate effect is an open training-camp spot after locking in Kelly, who averaged 21.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 33 games with the Texas Legends. Boyd becomes a free agent and the post-preseason path outlined is Santa Cruz Warriors, although the club has not announced a further step directly linked to this exit.
