The two-time NBA MVP addressed fans prior to Friday's game, the first at Chase Center with fans in attendance. The Warriors hosted 2,000 fans -- or 10 percent of Chase Center's capacity -- Friday, and Golden State can have as much as 35 percent of capacity under California's updated COVID-19 rules.
"All we gotta say is it's great to see you guys in the stands," Curry said from center court. "We miss your energy, we miss your passion and thank you for your patience and sticking with us through this unprecedented situation. It's great to see y'all back."
