The Athletic's Shams Charania reported Tuesday night, citing sources, that the Warriors will travel to Sacramento to take on the Kings on Friday, Oct. 27 at Golden 1 Center.
It will be the first meeting between the two Northern California rivals since their epic seven-game first-round NBA playoff series, which culminated in the Warriors winning Game 7 thanks to Steph Curry's historic 50-point performance.
