Just two days removed from his massive outing that kept the Golden State Warriors’ alive in the postseason, Buddy Hield made a classic mistake often seen at the AAU and high school levels.
He came out onto the court at the Target Center wearing the wrong shorts.

Hield, in the first minutes of Game 1 of the Warriors’ Western Conference semifinals matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves, was spotted wearing a black and blue pair of shorts instead of the black and yellow shorts his teammates were wearing. It was actually the Timberwolves’ bench that pointed that out, too, which left Hield laughing on the court after he realized his error.
So, he had to sprint back into the locker room to change. The Warriors were hit with a delay of game and had to burn a timeout in the first minute of the contest, too.
Quickly, after finding the right pair, Hield came back out and play resumed normally.

Hield went off in the Warriors’ Game 7 win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. He dropped 22 points in the first half and finished with a playoff career-high 33 points on nine 3-pointers to grab the win, which closed out their series and officially sent them into the next round.
The Warriors are trying to make it back to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2022, when they ended up winning their seventh championship. While Hield will play a big part in that, he has to be wearing the right jersey in order to actually make any sort of impact.
Hopefully this hilarious blunder was just a one-off.

Steph Curry’s hamstring injury gives the Warriors another mission: Buy him time
MINNEAPOLIS — Steve Kerr, in all his profundity, couldn’t say anything as he watched the superstar he’s coached for 11 seasons succumb to the suffocating disappointment. Kerr already knew, as tears fell from Steph Curry’s eyes, the heartbreak still fresh from the news that he sprained his left hamstring. Words weren’t what Curry needed. Or what Kerr had.AdvertisementSo the Golden State Warriors’ head coach, in this halftime moment Tuesday in the visiting locker room of Target Center, didn’t even try finding the right words. He just hugged his point guard.“That’s all I could do,” Kerr said after the Warriors won Game 1 of their second-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. “I just feel so bad for him. Everything that he does. How much he cares.”Injuries in sports are so normalized as to often obscure their cruelty. The “next man […]

O comentarista da ESPN admite que a equipe mineira melhorou bastante em relação ao que vinha apresentado desde o início da temporada, mas isso não quer dizer que possa ser considerado um dos favoritos ao título do Brasileirão.

New $100M Shedeur Sanders lawsuit is a sign of the chaos to come
Think you’ve heard more than enough of Shedeur Sanders? Sorry, friend.

Maybe he’ll be a star in the NFL, maybe he’ll be a what-ever-happened-to, but in this offseason, he stands right at the center of the NFL world. Why?
