NBA star Stephen Curry to be Sharks bobblehead

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors won the NBA's most valuable player award last season, but he'll open this season in a San Jose Sharks jersey -- sort of.

Curry and the Warriors, who won the NBA championship last season, will play their preseason opener Oct. 5 against the Toronto Raptors at the Sharks' home, SAP Center. To commemorate the occasion, the first 10,000 fans will receive a bobblehead figure of Curry in a Sharks jersey.

Tickets for the game will go on sale Sept. 1, with presale opportunities for Warriors and Sharks season-ticket holders.
