On Monday, the Warriors announced they had signed the nephew of Scottie Pippen, Kavion Pippen. In a corresponding move, the team announced that it had waived small forward Devyn Marble, who played eight minutes in the team’s 123-101 preseason-opening loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. It is likely a training camp deal. The following comes from the Warriors:
