This one might get a little emotional.
Former Golden State Warriors assistant coach Alvin Gentry is now the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, taking on his former team in the season opener on Tuesday night.
The Warriors, fresh off their NBA championship last season, will receive their rings before tip-off against a Pelicans squad that has dropped of its last 15 matchups against Golden State, including seven straight at Oracle Arena.
Luke Walton is still slated to serve as interim head coach for Golden State on Tuesday, taking over for Steve Kerr who is still on a leave of absence after surgery on his back this offseason. Kerr will be present for the ring ceremony.
Tip-off for the game is slated for 10:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT. Don’t worry if you won’t be near a TV. Here’s how to watch online and on mobile:
