Jordan Poole, a key contributor to the Golden State Warriors' recent championship run, made his return to the Bay Area on Friday night as his current team faced off against his former team. The visit was marked by a tribute video and a warm reception from the Warriors' fans and his former teammates, including Stephen Curry. Discussions around Poole's tenure with the Warriors and its end were brought up by Curry, Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr, and Kevon Looney, with Curry expressing dislike for how it ended for Poole. Before the game, Poole and Curry were seen catching up, highlighting the strong bond between the former teammates. The Warriors honored Poole with a tribute video during the starting lineups, and he received a standing ovation from the crowd at Chase Center. Despite Poole's impressive performance of 30 points, 6 threes, 3 steals, and 11/20 FGM, the Warriors, led by Curry's 30 points, spoiled his return.
