Gold Check Facts: No Contract Signed with June Mar Fajardo and the Golden State Warriors
June Mar Fajardo, a graduate of our website's fact-checking mentorship program, recently found himself at the centre of a buzzing rumour that he had signed a three-year contract with the Golden State Warriors. However, a closer look at the claims reveals them to be unfounded and based on viral social media content.
The speculation began with at least five Facebook posts reposting the same claim, accompanied by a graphic displaying Fajardo in a Warriors jersey and the team's logo. The post, made on July 22, 2023, has since garnered attention, but as of the article's publication, there are no public announcements on the Warriors' social media page or credible reports from news outlets about the alleged deal.
Upon investigation, our website's research team and senior editor found no credible evidence to support the claim. The mentions of Fajardo in relation to the Warriors appear to come from viral or speculative social media content, such as TikTok videos showing projected or imagined team lineups for 2025–26, and reactions from the San Miguel Beermen (his Philippine Basketball Association team) rather than any official NBA announcement.
The only recent official-sounding mention of June Mar Fajardo is in the context of Gilas Pilipinas (the Philippine national team), where Coach Tim Cone is noted to have June Mar among trusted players, but this is unrelated to any NBA contract or the Golden State Warriors.
Moreover, on July 20, 2023, a video uploaded by One Sports showed Fajardo reacting to a meme about being part of the projected GSW lineup for the 2025-2026 season, stating that he "just got entangled" in the meme. The meme about Fajardo being part of the projected GSW lineup for the 2025-2026 season is not further detailed in the article.
In light of these findings, it is clear that the claim that Fajardo signed a three-year deal with the Warriors is unsupported and appears to be a rumour or internet speculation without basis in verified NBA news or official team statements.
As we continue to debunk claims about Filipinos supposedly joining the Golden State Warriors, including a fact check on Rhenz Abando and Kai Sotto, we encourage you to keep us aware of suspicious Facebook pages, groups, accounts, websites, articles, or photos in your network by contacting us at factcheck@our website.
Meanwhile, after the PBA championship, Fajardo is set to join the Gilas Pilipinas training. For those interested in our fact-checking mentorship program, you can learn more about it here.
The speculation about June Mar Fajardo joining the NBA's Golden State Warriors, despite multiple social media posts and TikTok videos, lacks credible evidence. Instead, many mentions of Fajardo related to the Warriors appear to stem from viral or speculative content, not official NBA announcements.
Currently, the only official-sounding mention of June Mar Fajardo is in relation to Gilas Pilipinas, where he is among trusted players, not any NBA contract with the Golden State Warriors.
