NBA players try different things to improve their game and stay in shape in the off-season. Many of them join the NBA legend Jamal Crawford’s CrawsOver Pro-Am Basketball League in the summer for playing competitive basketball and showcasing their skills. Among others, LeBron James and Jayson Tatum previously flew to Seattle to play in the league.

And now, this Saturday, two Warriors’ rising stars will be making their CrawsOver Pro-Am League debut.

LeBron James’ CrawsOver debut

In his latest tweet, Crawford announced that Warriors’ players Gary Payton II and Jonathan Kuminga will grace the court and make their CrawsOver League debut this Saturday. GPII and Kuminga were key role players in the Warriors winning their fourth NBA title in 2022.

But after an early playoff exit last season, they will be looking to bounce back and become championship contenders once again as their Big 3 – Steph, Draymond, and Klay – are all in the later stages of their careers. Stephen Curry and Co. would love to capitalize on the window before it closes.

If the Warriors want to get back to the top next season, young players like Kuminga and Payton will play a big role.
