Jordan Poole's Amazing Instagram Post Before Warriors-Kings Game
On Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors will take on the Sacramento Kings (on the road) for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
The Warriors are coming off winning the 2022 NBA Championship, which was their fourth title in the previous eight seasons.
Jordan Poole played a significant role in the title run last year and had a solid 2022-23 regular season with averages of 20.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest in 82 games (he didn't miss one game).
Before the Warriors begin the defense of their title, the former Michigan star recently made a post to Instagram.
Poole captioned the photo: "đ„· - 13 HOURS"
He has become one of the more popular players in the league and has over 2.1 million followers on Instagram (his post has over 100,000 likes).
Poole is in his fourth season (all with the Warriors) and has improved tremendously over the last few years.
His points per game have gone up every season, and he earned himself a contract extension this past summer.
The Warriors go into the playoffs as the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a 44-38 record.
They had an up-and-down season but were able to avoid the play-in tournament and get a favorable matchup against a Kings team that is in the playoffs for the first time since 2006.
At home, the Warriors were sensational, going 33-8 in 41 games hosted at the Chase Center, but they were just 11-30 on the road away from San Francisco.
