After a four-month hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NBA made its long-awaited return to the court in the Orlando Bubble. On the day of Disney World’s NBA debut, the league scheduled a doubleheader.
Zion Williamson’s New Orleans Pelicans opened the Orlando Bubble with a matchup against the Utah Jazz. For game two, the LeBron James led Los Angeles Lakers matched up against Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers.
One of the teams missing from the NBA’s restart is the defending Western Conference champions. With the league’s worst record, the Golden State Warriors are one of eight teams on the outside of the Orlando Bubble.
Although the Warriors season is officially over, Stephen Curry welcomed the NBA back on Twitter. In a welcome back message, the Warriors two-time Most Valuable Player showed love for his fellow members of the NBA.
Via @StephenCurry30 on Twitter:
Twelve former members of the Golden State Warriors will take the court in Orlando across nine teams. Multiple former teammates of Curry, including Andre Iguodala, Quinn Cook and JaVale McGee will potentially help push their teams to the playoffs in the stretch run.
With Golden State’s extended offseason on deck, Curry will have time to follow his former teammates in Orlando.
