Stephen Curry stuns fans by draining 100-foot shot during Warriors warmups as Caitlin Clark insists it's AI
Stephen Curry announced his return to action on Friday night in spectacular fashion after making a ridiculous, full-court shot during warm-ups.
The veteran guard made his long-awaited return to the court for the Warriors' game against the Timberwolves, after missing five straight because of a left quad injury.
Curry, 37, rolled back the years as he produced a game-leading 39 points - as well as five rebounds and fives assists - during Golden State's 127-120 defeat.
However, it was Curry's pre-game shootaround that left fans in disbelief after the veteran guard made an unbelievable, full-court shot moments before tip-off.
In footage that emerged online, Curry lined up from the end of the Warriors' exit tunnel to attempt a shot at the basket on the opposite end of the floor.
The shot itself measured approximately 100 feet.

Even WNBA star Caitlin Clark struggled to believe that the video was real
After receiving a short pass back from a security guard, Curry took a couple of dribbles on the carpet leading to the court to gather momentum.
He then launched the ball, sending it traveling underneath the scoreboard. It hovered in the air for a few seconds before dropping cleanly through the rim for a swish.
Curry wheeled away in celebration and sprinted down the tunnel, while the fans who had gathered inside the Chase Center were left in sheer disbelief.
Even WNBA star Caitlin Clark, who is also known for her impressive long-range shooting, couldn't believe the moment. On X, she wrote: 'this has to be AI'.
Though the Warriors fell to defeat, the pre-game ritual evidently helped Curry find his best form on the night, as he lead the scoring the night.
Speaking after the game, Curry said: 'I felt pretty good to start and normal like middle of the game trying to get your second wind.
'And then once you started to get into the rhythm of the game, things started to feel normal again. Individually, it was a good first game back just to get my lungs back and feel like myself.'
Earlier this year, it appeared as though Curry has drained the 100ft shot in a video that swiftly went viral - however other angles revealed it did not in fact go in.
