(2) AS did cancel AS397 which departs SFO at 8:53p and was a B739. My guess is that it was cancelled (more people messed over) since they were a 739 short at SFO.... https://flightaware.com/live/flight/...403Z/KSFO/KSEA

(3) I see no flights OAK-SEA that would have used the diverted A/C (no AS flights out on late Friday using a 739) which is why I assumed it was the shuttled plane.

And no it was not the Warriors, I am 99% certain that they flew on a DL charter, using a 757. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/...540Z/KCLE/KOAK This landed at the same time the media reported they got back to OAK. While United advertises itself as the "official airline of the warriors" there is no way that they would actually fly such a crappy airline as United....
If you look at flightradar24, it shows the full history for N280AK, which was clearly flown SEA-OAK-CLE-OAK-SEA on June 9/10 and N323AS flew PDX-OAK-SEA flights 386/303, which clearly show as diverted to OAK.

Edit to add that the plane that flew to CLE (N280AK) is the one with the Kevin Durant decal on it, so I strongly suspect it was basketball related...
