The Golden State Warriors may no longer call Oracle Arena home, but the building still holds a special place in Stephen Curry's heart.

Curry proposed the idea of the Warriors returning to the stadium for a future game while at Oracle, now named Oakland Arena, on Saturday for the 2025 NBA All-Star practice.

"I absolutely love the idea of coming back to play a game here," Curry said, according to The Athletic's Marcus Thompson II. "It should be a regular-season game."

The Warriors played home games at Oracle from 1971 to 2019 before moving to San Francisco's Chase Center, where this year's NBA All-Star Game was held.

"We had a run where we created opportunities for memories to happen," Curry said. "But anybody who came here before we won (the NBA title) in 2015 could feel how unique this place was. It became more of a national, international arena because of the winning. Hosting that many Finals and the whole deal. But it was always here."

The Warriors entered the All-Star break sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference at 28-27. They'll be back in action Friday against the Sacramento Kings.
