"I'm so proud, overwhelmed. This was special. Just watching Chance put on his No. 55 Warriors jersey and play on the hometown team's yellow Chase Center court was enough to have her beaming."

"Since returning from injury, McMillian has averaged 15.9 points per game and shot 36.4% from 3-point territory, along the way developing an off-the-dribble game that he will need if he wants to break through to the NBA."
Chance McMillian led the Santa Cruz Warriors to a 122-100 victory over the San Diego Clippers, scoring 22 points through crafty drives and a high-arcing jumper developed since childhood in Vallejo. His mother Judy Bowers attended the game with his siblings Justin and Joi, expressing overwhelming pride at watching him play for the hometown team. McMillian, a three-time Tri-County Athletic League player of the year from Vallejo, played college basketball at Grand Canyon and Texas Tech before signing with the Warriors as an undrafted free agent. After recovering from ankle surgery that sidelined him through summer league and preseason, McMillian has averaged 15.9 points per game and shot 36.4% from three-point range while developing an off-the-dribble game essential for NBA advancement.
