The Golden State Warriors welcomed their fans on Thursday night, allowing them to witness an open practice and get a good look at their favorite stars.
It was also a chance for them to see the work of the team’s new players, including Trayce Jackson-Davis.
But Jackson-Davis didn’t just play basketball, he also serenaded the crowd.
A video shared by 95.7 The Game showed Jackson-Davis singing Beyonce’s “Hallo” karaoke-style as the rest of the team and the crowd cheered on.

This definitely wasn’t what most fans expected when they showed up for the open practice on Thursday night.
And it hopefully won’t be the last time Jackson-Davis impresses the faithful Warriors fans.
He was drafted as the 57th pick in the recent draft after playing for Indiana in college.
His time in the preseason has shown off some of his skills, especially on Wednesday night, when he scored 13 points and 10 rebounds with the starting lineup.
The Warriors are a team that has a proven track record of drafting well, and Jackson-Davis might be another example of that.
He could become a breakout rookie in 2023–24, and if he keeps playing like he did during the preseason, he might get a lot of minutes.
Of course, Jackson-Davis isn’t the only rookie looking to make an impact with the Warriors in the new season.
Brandin Podziemski is another young star hoping to slide easily into the rotation.
Surprisingly, Jackson-Davis isn’t the first NBA rookie to sing to a crowd during the preseason.
Scoot Henderson of the Portland Trail Blazers did the same thing with his fans recently.
Is this a new trend among rookies in the league?
