Overview
- Poole played 34 minutes in the Warriors’ 138–87 win at Chase Center on Nov. 9 but scored seven points on 1-for-5 shooting in a game that turned lopsided before halftime.
- After the game he told the San Francisco Chronicle that the Bay Area feels like “home” and said he would consider rejoining Golden State if the chance arose.
- Poole confirmed publicly that he is in the final year of his contract and will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2026–27 season.
- The comment follows a slow start to the season for Poole, who had limited availability earlier, sat out a recent game as a coach’s decision, and entered the week averaging low minutes and poor shooting percentages.
- Golden State’s rising young core, highlighted by rookie Yaxel Lendeborg—who exchanged jerseys with Poole after the game—and a recent big extension for Brandin Podziemski, creates an offseason decision point for the Warriors about whether to pursue a veteran reunion.
