Rush played in four seasons with the Warriors over two stints. He was a part of the team that won a championship in 2015, as well as the record-setting 73-win team in 2015-16.
In 172 games with the Warriors, the athletic wing averaged 5.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 41.2 percent from beyond the arc.
He last played in the 2016-17 season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He tried to make an NBA return last year when he signed a 10-day contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, but his contract expired without him seeing the court.
