Despite not having a first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors still added two second-round rookies—Alex Toohey and Will Richard—hoping to inject fresh energy into their young core. While the duo hasn’t suited up yet, Golden State kicked off the California Classic Summer League with a win over the Lakers on Saturday.
Jackson Rowe and Isaiah Mobley led the Warriors with 13 points each, overcoming strong performances from the Lakers’ Cole Swider and DJ Steward, who both scored over 20. A well-rounded team effort sealed the win for the hosts.
Adding to the excitement, franchise star Steph Curry was courtside at Chase Center to support the team, earning widespread praise for his commitment and leadership. Fans lauded Curry for being a rare all-time great who shows up for Summer League games, calling him the heart of the Warriors’ culture and the reason behind the team’s success on and off the court.
