On Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors suffered a defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. In the first half, anything that could go wrong went wrong. In a game where Stephen Curry needed one three to reach 3000, it took him three quarters to do it. The game came down to the wire and ended with an airball from Andre Iguodala.

After all of the bad things that happened in this game, the Dubs we're able to look at the bright side. One of the positives was the news of Jordan Poole rejoining the team after clearing health and safety protocols. Steve Kerr talked about that in his postgame interview.

“He was in a good mood today, as you might expect. Finally getting out of Boston and making it home. He got a good workout in while we were playing, and we'll reevaluate everything on Thursday,” Kerr told ClutchPoints.

Poole has missed the last six games. The last time he stepped on the court was in Madison Square Garden when Curry set a new all-time three-point record. So it's been an extremely long time away from the team. Poole hasn't spoken with the media yet, but you could look at him and see how pleased he is to be home.

Thursday, the Warriors will play the Nuggets for the second straight game. The possibility of Poole being in the lineup is likely, but either way, the Warriors will try to avenge the loss they endured at home. The energy Poole will bring to the team when he returns could be what they need to win the game.
