Quiñones’ Warriors stint may soon come to an end.
Per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Golden State Warriors are not planning to tender a qualifying offer to incoming third-year guard Lester Quiñones.
The Golden State Warriors won’t tender a qualifying offer to guard Lester Quinones, league sources told @hoopshype. The 23-year-old guard will become an unrestricted free agent after shooting 36.4 percent from 3-point range in 37 games for the Warriors last season. pic.twitter.com/5XDU9z1kp6

If the Warriors chose to tender a qualifying tender to Quiñones, he would’ve become a restricted free agent, with the Warriors having the right to match any offer sheet other teams would’ve offered Quiñones. Instead, he becomes an unrestricted free agent, with the complete freedom to choose between potential suitors.
In 37 games and 10.6 minutes per game last season, Quiñones averaged 4.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.0 assist, on a 45/36/69 shooting split.
