On if the Warriors are planning to add a big man to the roster in the coming days, head coach Steve Kerr said the front office is “looking into that as we speak.”

“All we’re doing right now is trying to give ourselves the best chance to win,” Kerr said before Thursday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chase Center. “And if that means playing eight, then we play eight. But it’s obviously not something that we want to do for a long period of time. Our guys could use a little help.”

The Warriors, who have been forced to play just eight players for the last several games due to injuries, currently have two open spots on the 15-man roster.

Signing a big man would help bolster a frontcourt that is without center James Wiseman (knee surgery) for the rest of the season and forward Eric Pachall, who has missed more than a month with a hip injury and does not have a timetable for a return.

On Thursday, the Athletic reported the front office was considering signing former Warriors big man Jordan Bell to either a 10-day or rest of season contract.

Since being released by the Warriors in 2019, Bell has played with the Timberwolves, Grizzlies and Wizards. Most recently, he played seven games for the Erie BayHawks at the G League bubble, where he averaged 17.6 points on 80.6% shooting, 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and two blocks. Bell, a second-round pick who was acquired by the Warriors in the 2017 draft, averaged 3.9 points on 57% shooting, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in two seasons in Golden State.

With less than two weeks left during the regular season, Bell would have the advantage of familiarity with the Warriors. Other free-agent centers include 19-year-veteran Tyson Chandler, Skal Labissiere, Justin Patton and Tyler Zeller, among others.
