Pat Spencer is here because of his grandfather. He's on the Golden State Warriors, hoopin' in the 2025 playoffs, because George Robey was his best friend. They called him Pop. Spencer was a kid when they'd hang out in the basement. Playing ping-pong. Playing pool. Going through his Pop's boxes of baseball cards.

MINNEAPOLIS - Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry left the first half of Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a left hamstring strain. He asked out and went straight to the locker room during a timeout. General manager Mike Dunleavy checked on him and the team quickly ruled him out for the night. Curry and the Warriors were in control when he went down, up 30-20 after the third of Draymond Green's four first half 3s.

SAN FRANCISCO - As he backpedaled following his stepback 3-pointer over P.J. Washington, in front of Dallas' bench, Steph Curry pulled out his now world-famous celebration. Night. Night. The oddity about this one, however, was that 2:50 remained. In the third quarter. Curry shunned his usual concerns about pulling out his gesture too early. His one worry is pulling out the celebration and then losing the game. But in a rare instance, Curry did not filter his confidence.

The crowd erupted. The arena that would later be named Oracle, and become famous for its intensity, rocked with fervor. A Y2K adaption of a roaring Colosseum. Shaquille O'Neal's eyes bugged behind his radio-sized Sony VX1000 camcorder. Kevin Garnett - astonished to the point of confusion - put his camcorder down instead of filming the reaction. With an ecstatic Chris Webber draped all over him, KG stared in bewilderment at the alien in purple. Ray Allen fell onto his back on the hardwood.

The Golden State Valkyries have signed veteran guard Tiffany Hayes, they said Thursday. Hayes was an unrestricted free agent, last playing WNBA games for the Las Vegas Aces, where she averaged 9.5 points on 50 percent shooting in 33 games off the bench last season. The Aces protected her during the expansion draft, one league source said, preventing the Valkyries from selecting her. But the Aces and Hayes couldn’t reach a deal.

Nikola Vucevic views the Golden State Warriors as a "desirable destination" should he get traded from the Chicago Bulls, according to Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic. The Warriors currently view acquiring Vucevic as a secondary option before the upcoming trade deadline. The Bulls are looking to get a first-round pick in return for Vucevic.

The Golden State Warriors have interest in both Zach LaVine and Jimmy Butler ahead of the February 7th NBA trade deadline. LaVine seems to pique more interest with multiple players on the Warriors depending on the cost. LaVine is also viewed by some within the franchise as the safer option considering he is nearly six years younger, $6 million cheaper this season, and an easier cultural fit.

SAN FRANCISCO - The defeat was palpable. Tangible. Engulfing. In the mood of Warriors owner Joe Lacob. In the tone of Warriors coach Steve Kerr. In the disposition of Warriors superstar Steph Curry. In the silence of the Warriors' heartbeat, Draymond Green. Perhaps most concerningly, though, Golden State's defeat was conspicuous in the absence of agitation elsewhere. The locker room was far from lugubrious following an indicting 114-98 loss Tuesday to the weary and mediocre Miami Heat.
