Watch: Warriors release footage from offseason minicamp live scrimmage at Chase Center

Watch highlights from the Golden State Warriors full 5-on-5 love scrimmage from inside Chase Center at their voluntary offseason minicamp.

For the first time since March 10, the Golden State Warriors laced up for live-action inside Chase Center. However, it was a little different than a typical game day.

During their extended offseason, members of the Warriors traveled to San Francisco for a voluntary minicamp inside Golden State’s Bay Area “Dubble.” A live scrimmage at Chase Center served as the headliner of the Warriors’ camp in the Bay Area.

Players were split into The Blue and The White teams inside their home court. All players involved in the scrimmage suited up in game uniforms with social justice messages on the back of their jerseys, matching the NBA’s Orlando Bubble uniforms.

Eric Paschall and Klay Thompson were held out of the live scrimmages due to conditioning reasons. With key starters on the sidelines, Jordan Poole, Kevon Looney, Ky Bowman, Alen Smailagic and Damion Lee were featured in the scrimmage.

On Saturday, the Golden State Warriors Twitter account shared footage from the scrimmage inside The Dubble. Golden State team broadcaster Bob Fitzgerald was joined by Santa Cruz’s Kevin Danna for the scrimmage’s play-by-play call.

Ryan Taylor leads Warriors in scoring during offseason minicamp scrimmage at Chase Center

For the first time since March, the Golden State Warriors suited up for live-action at the Chase Center during their offseason minicamp.

For the first time since March, the Golden State Warriors saw action inside San Francisco’s Chase Center. During their voluntary offseason minicamp, the Warriors competed against each other in a live 5-on-5 scrimmage.

The Warriors broke off into “Blue” and “White” teams for the match. To make the scrimmage “as game-like as possible,” the Warriors donned their official home and away uniforms.

Before the scrimmage tipped-off, Golden State shooting guard Damion Lee chimed in on Twitter with Stephen Curry’s signature pregame tweet. Lee called for Dub Nation to “lock-in” for the scrimmage.

According to the Warriors Sr. Vice President of Communications Raymond Ridder, the Blue team won the scrimmage over the White team, 52-40. G Leaguers Ryan Taylor and Jeremy Pargo led the contest in scoring. Taylor scored a scrimmage-high 18 points. Marquese Chriss added seven boards in the scrimmage, per Ridder.

Both Klay Thompson and Eric Paschall were held out of the scrimmage due to conditioning issues. Thompson has yet to suit up for a full 5-on-5 scrimmage since returning to practice after a 15-month layoff.

After recovering from his knee injury, Steve Kerr said the Warriors are “taking it really slow” with Thompson. The five-time All-Star shooter has been limited to “controlled scrimmages” at Golden State’s offseason minicamp.

Following Golden State’s scrimmage at Chase Center, Kerr said the Warriors wouldn’t have any more “formal scrimmages” at minicamp. However, the team will have the chance to play “old school” 5-on-5 pickup at minicamp.

Kerr via Warriors SoundCloud:

There won’t be any more scrimmages. There will be 5-on-5, meaning there won’t be anything formal. We will probably have a couple of days where it’s just open gym — come in and play. Choose up sides; coaches stay out of the way, just play 5-on-5 — just old school.

The Warriors will continue minicamp inside the San Francisco “Dubble” until Oct. 6.

Injury Update: Steph Curry practices with G League Santa Cruz Warriors

Before he returns from injury, Stephen Curry spent time practicing with the G League Santa Cruz Warriors.

It’s been a long process, but it looks like Stephen Curry‘s return from injury is nearing. The Golden State Warriors’ point guard has missed a majority of the 2019-20 season due to a hand injury. Still, he could be on his way back as the calendar flips to March.

Curry’s checked off a bevy of steps during his broken hand rehab. The injured two-time Most Valuable Player has been traveling with the Warriors on the road, participating in practice and full-contact scrimmages. Curry has also been suiting up to go through his pregame shooting routine before the Warriors take the court.

One of the final steps in his rehab led Curry on a day trip to Santa Cruz. The six-time All-Star was assigned to Golden State’s NBA G League affiliate in Santa Cruz for a day of practice.

Curry went through scrimmages with the Santa Cruz squad to build up his rhythm and conditioning before getting back to game action with Golden State. When the 5-on-5 scrimmage was over, Curry went through shooting drills.

After practice was over in Santa Cruz, the Warriors quickly recalled Curry back to the NBA club.

There has yet to be a confirmed date for the Davidson product’s official return to the floor. However, the next available option could be Thursday when the defending champion Toronto Raptors travel to San Francisco.
