After a whirlwind off-season which has seen him travel the world, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry was back in basketball mode this week.

The 25-year-old led the Warriors to the Western Conference playoffs last season, ending the regular season as the sixth seed with a 47-35 record.

Despite training camp not starting until September 29, Curry was among those who couldn't wait to get back to work.

"When you get back into that facility, you get that spirit back. The season's around the corner. We want to pace ourselves this next month before training camp, but ready for it to get started," he said, according to NBA.com.

With the franchise keeping hold of their key players, the Warriors also signed Andre Iguodala this summer as they look to build on the success of last season.
