Guards Poole, Mannion and Lin Among Players Going to G League Bubble

When G League play in Orlando tips off on February 10 at 8 AM PT, the Warriors’ affiliate will have recent draft selections and a 2019 NBA Champion with them in the Bubble.

The Santa Cruz Warriors are one of 18 teams going to the G League Bubble – which runs from February 10 to March 6 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex – with a roster featuring 2019 draft picks Jordan Poole and Alen Smailagić, 2020 second-rounder Nico Mannion and former Warrior and member of the 2019 Toronto Raptors Jeremy Lin.

Thompson Returns to Sideline Reporter Gig

The Golden State Warriors played great two-way basketball in a 118-91 win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night, but all the focus was on a player who wasn’t even active.

For the second time in the last two seasons, an injured Klay Thompson made a guest appearance as a member of the NBC Sports Bay Area broadcast crew. This time, the shooting guard put on the headset for the third quarter. His performance was quintessential Klay: honest, funny and a little unpredictable, but insightful and representative of his passion for the game.

Draymond Green's impact on success for the Warriors goes far beyond any stat sheet could show

The opener against the Nets. Christmas Day in Milwaukee. The second half of last Thursday’s game versus the Knicks.

The Warriors looked miserable, and for all these losses, they were missing their “heartbeat”.

2017 Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green was integral to Golden State’s dynastic run and has sparked some of the Warriors’ limited success this season.

If Oubre Continues to Struggle, Kerr has Options

It’s no secret that the start to Kelly Oubre Jr.’s time as a Warrior has been less than ideal, especially when it comes to his shooting – the forward shot just 33.6% from the field and 13.7% from distance entering Tuesday’s matchup against the Pacers.

Paschall's Insertion as Reserve Center has Boosted Warriors

As the Warriors have won six of their last eight contests, much of the credit goes to Stephen Curry, and rightfully so – the two-time MVP dropped a career-high 62 points last week against the Portland Trail Blazers before scoring 38 points in Friday’s win against the Los Angeles Clippers.
