It appears Tecumseh’s Mychal Mulder will finally get his shot in the National Basketball Associatio­n.

The 25-year-old Mulder, a Catholic Central high school product, was set to sign a 10-day contract with the NBA’S Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.

A 6-foot-3, 184-pound shooting guard, Mulder could be on the active roster for the Warriors in time for Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Mulder worked his way from a junior college to a full-ride scholarshi­p at the University of Kentucky.

The G League’s Windy City Bulls made him a firstround pick in 2017 and his numbers jumped from 9.3 points per game his first season to 13.7 points per game in his second team.

He has spent time with Canada’s national men’s team and earned an invite to training camp by the NBA’S Miami Heat this year.

However, he landed back in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce and was averaging 17 points per game.
