He posted 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks in just 13 minutes during Saturday's loss to Phoenix, and he should see limited minutes again with Draymond Green (back) returning to the lineup.

Bassey registered eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 27 minutes in Tuesday's 101-89 preseason win over the Lakers.
Starting in place of a resting Draymond Green, Bassey struggled against Walker Kessler early but dominated after halftime, finishing with a team-high 12 boards. His five turnovers are a concern, but he's making a strong case for backup center minutes behind Green and Kristaps Porzingis.

Rotowire
Bassey notched 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three steals and three blocks over 24 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
Bassey converted all six of his shot attempts and racked up six stocks in under 30 minutes. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out indefinitely, there could be a path to meaningful minutes for Bassey, so he's someone worth monitoring this preseason.

Warriors' Charles Bassey: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Bassey will start in Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) remains out indefinitely, and both Draymond Green and Al Horford did not travel for Wednesday's exhibition, so Bassey will draw the start. He could see quality minutes with the Warriors resting nine players, and he's capable of racking up the boards when given the opportunity.

Rotowire
Bassey finished with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist in 16 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Bassey made an immediate impact on the glass, grabbing six offensive rebounds while tying for the team lead in scoring. With Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) currently sidelined and Golden State potentially needing additional frontcourt depth, Bassey could make a case for rotation minutes with more performances like this.

Warriors' Charles Bassey: Could play larger role
Rotowire
Bassey could see more playing time to begin the season if Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) isn't ready for Opening Night.
Bassey bounced around last season, appearing for the Warriors, 76ers, Grizzlies and Celtics, but he's looking to find a home in Golden State. Assuming Draymond Green starts at power forward, Bassey could challenge veteran Al Horford for the starting position at center if Porzingis is out to start the year.

76ers' Charles Bassey: Nabs 10-day deal with 76ers
Rotowire
Bassey agreed Saturday with the 76ers on a 10-day deal, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Bassey will kick off his second stint in Philadelphia after he previously broke into the league in 2021 as a second-round pick of the 76ers. The 25-year-old center most recently appeared at the NBA level earlier this season with the Grizzlies, when he made two appearances over the course of a 10-day hardship contract. Bassey returned to the G League thereafter and has been dominant over his 10 appearances with the Santa Cruz Warriors, averaging 18.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 1.4 assists in 27.8 minutes per contest. He could struggle to crack the rotation in Philadelphia so long as Joel Embiid, Adem Bona and Andre Drummond are all available.
