Warriors announce Nate Thurmond bobblehead night

Golden State will honor late Warriors great Nate Thurmond with his own bobblehead night at Oracle Arena, the team announced Thursday morning.

The figurine, which features Thurmond in his old No. 42 Warriors jersey, will be given to the first 10,000 fans at Golden State’s Dec. 20 game against Utah.
