Golden State’s 2026 second-round draft pick, Lajae Jones, signs with Pallacanestro Trieste and will play in Italy. Multiple reports say the agreement is for the upcoming season, with Jones joining the Lega Basket Serie A club.
The team is described as using the move to keep Jones developing overseas. Yahoo Sports outlets present the same core information: Jones is the Warriors’ second-round selection and the destination is Pallacanestro Trieste, an Italian top-division basketball team. While the wording varies, the timing is consistently framed around the 2026–27 season and the purpose is presented as “stashing” the player rather than placing him immediately on an NBA roster.
No reports in the provided material include additional details such as contract terms, duration, or performance expectations, and none dispute the signing, team, or league involved.
