Warriors rookie’s old social media post goes viral after big game

The Warriors won the contest 132-126, erasing what was once a 17-point deficit, and the forward Jackson-Davis finished as a game-high plus-25 in his 29 minutes of play.

After the game, Jackson-Davis’ old post to X from this year’s NBA Draft night went viral.

“Y’all will regret it,” he wrote. “I promise you.”

Jackson-Davis was referencing the fact that he slid in the draft. A former first-team All-American at Indiana, Jackson-Davis wasn’t drafted until the 57th overall pick (when the Washington Wizards selected him and then flipped him to the Warriors as part of the Chris Paul-Jordan Poole trade).

The 23-year-old Jackson-Davis changed the game on Tuesday with his energy on both ends of the floor and is making a case for a permanent role off the bench, especially in the continued suspension absence of Draymond Green. Though teammate Stephen Curry rightfully got most of the love for the win, definitely don’t sleep on Jackson-Davis for the rest of this season.
