Buddy Hield is entering his first year playing for the Golden State Warriors.

The former Oklahoma star was a big addition to the team, as he is an elite three-point shooter who should fit well with the way the Warriors play.

On Thursday, Hield made a post to Instagram in his new uniform.

Hield captioned his post: "Year 9🙏🏾"

Tyrese Haliburton's Comment / October 3

Haliburton and Hield were teammates for part of four seasons on the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers.

During the 2023 season (with Indiana), Hield averaged 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 45.8% from the field and 42.3% from the three-point range 80 games.

He was an excellent fit next to Haliburton in the backcourt.

The Warriors will open up the 2024-25 NBA season when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on October 23 in Oregon.

They finished last season as the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.

Hield will have a chance to play a significant role for Golden State due to the fact the team lost Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks over the offseason.
