It’s not official yet, but Stephen Curry and the Warriors are scheduled to head to the White House on January 17.
Indeed, Golden State plays in Washington, against the Wizards, on January 16, and the NBA granted two days off to the defending champions following this match. A “hole” in the calendar which generally makes it possible to organize the traditional meeting between the champions and the President of the United States.
According to our colleague Monte Poole, by NBC SportsGolden State is thus trying to organize this visit to Joe Biden, even if no official invitation from the White House has yet been issued.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors last visited the White House in 2016, following their 2015 title. In 2017, it was LeBron James and the Cavaliers who visited Barack Obama, when we remember that the election of Donald Trump had put an end to the tradition, Golden State not going to the White House in 2018.
