The Golden State Warriors will be hosting Nothing But Nets Day this Sunday, March 8th versus the L.A. Clippers at 12:30pm at ORACLE Arena.

There will be a post-game chalk talk with Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry with fans who purchased an additional special ticket for the event.

For the third consecutive year Curry is hosting his Three for Three Challenge and donating three life-saving bednets to Nothing But Nets for every three pointer he makes during the 2014-2015 season.

During the teams recent road trip Curry spoke at the White House about the dangers of Malaria.

The Warriors are matching Curry's donations, up to $5,000. Over the past two season Curry and the Warriors have donated nearly 2500 bednets to families in Africa affected by Malaria.
