The 22-year-old guard watched the Warriors on TV from his Boston hotel room for the past 6 games.
At last on Saturday, Jordan Poole will be able to get back to enjoying Warriors games the way he prefers: on the court, as a member of the starting five, rather than holed up in a hotel room taunted by the television broadcast.
“It was really weird watching it on TV. I had to turn the sound off,” Poole said Friday after practice, recounting his quarantine experience for the first time. “A lot of rest. A lot of alone time down time.” Poole had plenty of time on his hands while away from the team. He tuned in to each game on his hotel room TV, turning them into live film sessions. The Warriors’ training staff left him some equipment to keep him occupied: a jump rope, resistance bands and a slide board, among them.
Before retaking the court against Utah, Poole was able to get in two workouts and a scrimmage, thanks to the postponement in Denver. He checked out of his hotel and returned home Tuesday; he was eligible to play that night but opted for an individual workout instead. By the time came Thursday evening to go all out in the scrimmage, Poole “looked really good … needed a little more wind,” coach Steve Kerr said afterward.After another light practice Friday, Poole said he was feeling back to normal.
