It has been almost eight months since the Golden State Warriors played their last NBA game. On March 10, 2020, the Dubs went down against the Los Angeles Clippers. Golden State was at the bottom of the standings with virtually no hope of climbing higher.

Naturally, they wanted the season to be over as soon as possible so they could focus on returning to contention next year. Eight months later, the Warriors are eager to return to the court.

Head coach Steve Kerr says he cannot wait for the training camp to start. On the other hand, he admits that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat are in a different situation having finished Finals series just a month ago.

Per Monte Poole of NBC Sports:

“I’ve taken advantage of the time, really, but I’m also ready to go,” coach Steve Kerr said over the weekend. “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.”
