The Golden State Warriors’ morning practice at AmericanAirlines Arena on Wednesday was punctuated by star Steph Curry throwing alley-oops to a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland.
That scene, and others like it on Wednesday, were the byproduct of Golden State coach Steve Kerr inviting students from both the Parkland school and Miami Northwestern to the team’s shootaround before its game Wednesday night against the Heat.
“It’s special having them here,” Curry said, more than a year after a gunman opening fire at Stoneman Douglas last February, killing 17 students and staff members and injuring 17 others.
