LOS ANGELES — The setting seems poetic as Warriors rookie forward Jordan Bell will spend his 23rd birthday in the town that shaped him.
After the Warriors play the Clippers on Saturday afternoon, Bell plans to stay in Los Angeles on Sunday with his mother, Carolyn Gray, and four siblings to celebrate his big day. Presents, a cake and familial love await. Bell might not be in a good mood, though.
That’s because Bell has posted what he called “up and down” performances in his first three hometown visits against the Lakers (twice) and the Clippers (once).
