PHOENIX – Almost a year has passed since Nico Mannion last started and played a full basketball game. March 11, 2020, to be exact – his final game of his one-year college career at Arizona before COVID-19 shut down the rest of the college basketball season.
After being drafted in the second round by the Golden State Warriors in November and signing a two-way contract, the former Pinnacle standout and Arizona Wildcats guard has received limited amounts of playing time in six games with the Warriors so far, averaging six minutes a game, 1.5 points and 2.0 assists.
