Donte DiVincenzo said goodbye to Warriors fans in an Instagram post Thursday night.
“From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!” DiVincenzo wrote.
DiVincenzo arrived in the Bay Area last summer after signing a two-year, $9.3 million deal.
In 72 games with the Warriors, the 26-year-old winger averaged 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. He successfully filled in as a starter while Andrew Wiggins was out for nearly two months due to personal reasons, and in the Warriors’ last 25 games of the regular season he averaged 10.3 points on a 36.8 percent shooting percentage from 3-point range .
DiVincenzo also appeared in the Warriors’ 13 playoff games before their season was ended in the Western Conference semifinals by the Los Angeles Lakers.
His future at Golden State was in jeopardy as soon as the last buzzer sounded. DiVincenzo’s two-year deal he signed included a player option for the 2023-24 season, which he turned down in pursuit of a bigger contract.
DiVincenzo signed a four-year, $50 million free agency deal with the New York Knicks, joining his former Villanova teammates Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson in the Big Apple.
