The Warriors have officially signed Damion Lee, the one-time two-way player, to a multiyear contract. Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, the deal is a three-year pact with a partial guarantee for 2020-21.

Lee has seen his minutes and statistics significantly increase since his first season with the Warriors a year ago. That is due, at least in part, to all the injuries the club has sustained.

"This is only the beginning," Lee said on Wednesday after the announcement of his deal. "(I'm a) late bloomer. It took a lot of work, a lot of hard work, to get here."

Amid a last-place season, Lee has been a rare bright spot and appears poised to claim a bench role for the Warriors in the years to come.
