June 22, 2026 — The Golden State Warriors are looking at University of Michigan forward Morez Johnson Jr. as a player who could strengthen the team’s defense, according to a New York Post report published Monday.
The story describes Johnson, a standout with the Wolverines, as the type of versatile defender the Warriors hope to add ahead of next season.
