Prior to the NBA season going on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, the last time the Golden State Warriors laced up for a game in the Chase Center was March 10 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
While it’s not ready for live games, members of the Golden State Warriors have returned to their San Francisco home for the first time in over two months.
According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Bay Area basketball arena became the latest facility to reopen doors for players to return to the court. “About five players” participated in workouts on the first day Chase Center was back open for business, according to Slater.

Last week, San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced the next installment of phases to reopen the city — including professional sports teams returning to practice with approval from public health officials. In Phase 2B of San Francisco’s reopening guidelines, professional sports teams are allowed to host games without spectators as soon as June 15.
Teams across the NBA are returning to facilities as the league prepares to return to game action. Although the Warriors league-worst 15-50 record has likely ended their season, it’s crucial for players to have the ability to get back on the court after a lengthy layoff.
After missing a significant chunk of the 2019-20 season, working Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson back on the court alongside newcomers Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall and Marquese Chriss is a significant step as the Warriors offseason is set in motion.
