“Ready To Roll”: Golden State Warriors’ Steve Kerr Signals Team’s Approval for Early Start to NBA 2021 Season

It’s only been a little less than a month since the 2020 NBA season concluded. However, there are already talks that a December 22 return date for the 2021 season is “inevitable.” Naturally, there are two sides to a coin, and not everyone is happy with the immediate commencement of the upcoming season. However, the Golden State Warriors are ready to roll whenever it begins! 

The NBA’s desire is to begin the 2021 season on Dec 22. Training camps will begin as soon as November ends, giving very little time for the bubble teams to recuperate. However, the Warriors don’t belong in that category. 

The team last played an NBA game on March 10, and the deficit adds up to eight months. Thus, the wait cannot be piled up any longer as the players are raring to go out and play. Their head coach feels the same way too!

Steve Kerr says the Golden State Warriors are “ready to roll”

From making five successive finals trips to posting one of the worst regular-season records, the Golden State Warriors have seen it all. Their dynasty took a huge hit when Curry and Thompson were sidelined due to injury during the 2020 season. 

However, the ‘Splash Brothers’ are back with complete fitness and are keen on returning to action. Curry held back no emotions while engaging with fans regarding the commencement date on social media. 

“But of course I want to play basketball,” Curry said. “This has been the longest 7 months of waiting. Even watching the bubble, it’s tough. Definitely ready to get back out there and play.”

Moreover, Steve Kerr also displayed similar emotions when he was asked about the unusual offseason and when he intends to get back on the court. 

“I’ve taken advantage of the time, really, but I’m also ready to go,” Kerr said. “I can’t wait to start practice. We all kind of feel that way. When I say, ‘we all,’ I mean ‘organizationally.’ I’m sure the Lakers and the Heat aren’t really ready to start camp yet.”

“But we are … we’re ready to roll,” Kerr added. Fans are eagerly anticipating the Bay Team to bounce back to their glory days, and it could be just a matter of a few weeks before we’ll see them in action. 

Moreover, the Golden State Warriors also have the prized #2 overall pick in the upcoming draft. Their selection will go a long way in maintaining the power-packed roster that is led by 2x MVP Stephen Curry.
