Cory Joseph's Warriors tenure has come to an end, and he doesn't have to go very far to join his new team.
The Warriors are trading the veteran guard to the Indiana Pacers -- the team they are playing Thursday night -- along with cash for a 2024 second-round draft pick, the team announced shortly after the NBA trade deadline.
The Athletic's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater first reported news of the trade.

The Warriors received a 2024 second rounder in the Cory Joseph trade, per sources. So they'll have a pick in the upcoming draft. Sent cash to the Pacers. No other trade deadline moves. The core remains intact.

Joseph averaged 2.4 points and 1.6 assists in 11.4 minutes over 26 games for the Warriors this season. He signed a one-year contract with Golden State worth $3.2 million last summer, per Spotrac.
The Joseph trade clears a roster spot for the Warriors, who now have 13 guaranteed contracts, giving them flexibility to dive into the buyout market.
