The Golden State Warriors have signed training camp invite Alfonzo McKinnie to a two-way contract according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Warriors already signed wing Damion Lee to a two-way contract earlier this offseason. Each NBA team is allocated two two-way slots, which allow players to bounce back-and-forth between the NBA and the G-League throughout the season, but are only allowed to spend a maximum of 45 days with their NBA team.

McKinnie, 25, plays primarily small forward (6-foot-8, 215 lbs) and appeared in 14 games for the Raptors last season, averaging just 3.8 minutes per game. A Chicago native, McKinnie split time between the Eastern Illinois and Wisconsin-Green Bay, finishing his college career averaging 7.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 96 games.
The Raptors waived McKinnie on July 17, just before his $1,378,242 salary for the upcoming season became guaranteed.
