Without an invite to Disney World, the Golden State Warriors are opening their own edition of the Orlando Bubble. On Monday, the Warriors kicked off a voluntary offseason minicamp at Chase Center in San Francisco.
Before they hit the court, players and coaching staff will go through coronavirus testing and a 48-hour quarantine period. During the camp, members of the Warriors will stay in a campus-like atmosphere. With similarities to the Orlando Bubble, the Warriors are nicknaming their minicamp “The Dubble.”

Following the tests and quarantine period, players will take the court at Chase Center for practices that are slated to include group workouts and team scrimmages. The voluntary minicamp will serve as Golden State’s first form of organized basketball activities since the league was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic in March.
Although Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are considered doubtful for The Dubble due to family reasons, a familiar face will make his long-awaited return to Chase Center. After missing the entire 2019-20 season with a knee injury, Klay Thompson is expected to be on the floor.

With Thompson medically cleared to train without restrictions, Golden State’s minicamp will serve as his first chance to join 2019 newcomers Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall and Marquese Chriss on the court for practice.
The Warriors are scheduled to break camp on Oct. 6.
