The 22-year-old Croatian has managed to impress club leaders and is expected to sign a new ten-day contract with the Warriors on the way to a permanent contract?

Dragan Bend meanwhile stayed with the Warriors. The 22-year-old Croat, who is also remembered for spending a season in Yad Eliyahu's Maccabi Tel Aviv uniform, is expected to sign a new ten-day contract at Golden State, US media reports Thursday.

Remember, ten days ago, Bender signed a ten-day contract in San Francisco, and now makes the impression that the club decided to give him a second chance. In six games, Bender posted good averages of 7.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 23.3 minutes, and apparently decided to extend his contract for another short period, which would have to be cut here or there (concession or permanent contract).

Bender, who was selected fourth in the 2016 draft by the Phoenix Suns, played three years in Arizona, but not very successfully, so the Suns decided not to exercise his option for a fourth season. From there he moved to Milwaukee when he couldn't impress either. As mentioned, in the 2015/16 season he played for Maccabi Tel Aviv under the tutelage of the professional manager, Nicolas Wojcic.
