The 2019-20 season for the Golden State Warriors is officially on hold. The NBA has suspended the season with 17 games remaining due to the coronavirus pandemic. The league will go on hiatus for at least 30 days, according to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
The Warriors were slated to play the Brooklyn Nets at Chase Center in San Francisco on March 12 before going on a five-game east coast road trip. However, the next game on Golden State’s schedule won’t come until further notice.
With no basketball on the radar, Warriors Wire is digging deep into Golden State’s history — highlighting worthy individual performances from the past.

Prior to the arrival of Stephen Curry, Golden State’s premier point-guard went by the name of Baron Davis. The UCLA product will live in Warriors-lore for his heroic efforts as the centerpiece of the “We Believe” teams.
Davis registered one his highest-scoring night as a member of the Warriors on March 13 in the 2007-08 season.
In Golden State’s 123-115 loss to the Phoenix Suns, Davis dropped 38 points — two short of his career-high, on 15-of-30 shooting from the field while hitting 6-of-11 from beyond the arc. The former Golden State guard added nine rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block.

Amar’e Stoudemire paced the Suns with 36 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. Steve Nash added 21 points while dropping 14 dimes in Phoenix’s late-season victory.
Golden State finished the season with a 48-34 record, but did not qualify for the 2008 playoffs. In the offseason, Davis left the Warriors to join the Los Angeles Clippers via free agency on a five-year, $65-million contract.
