MINNEAPOLIS – When he’s not scoring 33-points in Game 7, Buddy Hield has become a well-known source of humor in the Warriors locker room.
But Steve Kerr was not laughing when Hield’s early-game wardrobe malfunction forced the longtime Warriors coach to call a timeout in the first minute of Game 1 between the Golden State and Timberwolves at Target Center on Tuesday.
Hield was wearing black and blue shorts, instead of the black and yellow garb the rest of his teammates had on. The shooting guard had to sprint to the locker room to change into the appropriate attire.
Buddy Hield has been a starter for each of the past four games, and was lauded during the pregame press conference for his defensive tenacity.
He played in all 82 games this regular season, extending his consecutive games played streak to 166.
