Even with the departure of four-time NBA Champion and Bay Area icon Klay Thompson, the Golden State Warriors enter the 2024-25 season with renewed hopes that this franchise that has won four of the last ten NBA Titles can once again contend for the sport’s biggest prize. Reasons for hope range from Stephen Curry’s continued […]

Still lost amid widespread handwringing on Jonathan Kuminga’s shift to the bench is the specific context that prompted it. The Golden State Warriors’ new-look starters weren’t setting the league ablaze before Steph Curry twice tweaked his left ankle during his 5-1 team’s lone loss of the regular season’s early going, but that big, athletic, defense-first […]

The Golden State Warriors never should’ve needed Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga to play hero. They boat raced the Houston Rockets in the first half on Saturday night, using red-hot shooting, suffocating defense and far superior chemistry and cohesion to take a seemingly insurmountable 28-point lead into intermission. The dogged two-way efforts of Tari Eason […]

It’s been nearly 25 years since Eminem and Dr. Dre collaborated on the Grammy Award winning single Forgot About Dre. This track served as a defiant and momentous return for the 34-year-old Dre. On Wednesday night, Golden State Warriors 34-year-old forward Draymond Green stepped on the floor against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans and […]

Without Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, and De’Anthony Melton on Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans, it seemed like the Golden State Warriors were lining themselves up for a loss. However, Steve Kerr’s group has always been resilient when it comes to injured players through the years, as the Warriors have always held the mantra […]

With Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins both out with injuries, Golden State Warriors head coach had to change his starting lineup vs. the New Orleans Pelicans. But in addition to replacing the pair of starters, he decided to go a step further and also controversially replace the healthy Jonathan Kuminga in the starting five. Kerr’s […]

The Golden State Warriors have started the season off strong, but injuries have also caught up to them, with Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, and De’Anthony Melton sidelined in their previous game. Despite the injuries, head coach Steve Kerr decided to bring one of their best available players, Jonathan Kuminga, off the bench in their game […]

The Golden State Warriors will be especially shorthanded in the backcourt for an upcoming baseball set with the New Orleans Pelicans. De’Anthony Melton will join Stephen Curry on the sidelines on Tuesday and Wednesday at Chase Center, out against the Pelicans due to right facet inflammation in his back. Andrew Wiggins is listed as questionable […]

There were still nearly eight minutes left on the fourth quarter clock on Sunday night when Stephen Curry hopped back toward the sideline and immediately motioned for a sub, putting little to no weight on the balky left ankle he’d just turned again. Chase Center quickly knew what was obvious to anyone watching across the […]

NBA coaches play an instrumental role from the sidelines. They set the culture of the team while also coming up with the squad’s game plan. Lately, more and more players continue to contribute to the game as an NBA head coach. These days, teams have hired former players such as Tyronn Lue, Chauncey Billups, Jason […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday, as they fell prey to James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers at home, 112-104. What made the loss taste even worse for the Dubs was the apparent lower-body injury suffered by two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry in the third […]

Buddy Hield just can’t stop making history. After becoming the first player since Paul George in 2022 to score at least 20 points in less than 15 minutes of action during his Golden State Warriors debut, the veteran sharpshooter etched his name in the NBA record books all by itself 48 hours later. A scorching […]

The Golden State Warriors won their season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers, and they did it with a 12-man rotation. That is very unheard of and has left many people wondering if it’s sustainable, but some are thinking about head coach Steve Kerr and his history of managing rotations. On NBA Today, Brian Windhorst […]

Head coach Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors beat the Portland Trail Blazers in blowout fashion, 139-104, in their regular-season opener. Warriors veteran Draymond Green picked up his first technical foul of the 2024-25 campaign. After the win, Kerr had an interesting take on the call when asked about Green’s tech in the game. […]

Following the Golden State Warriors’ season-opening win Wednesday night over the Portland Trail Blazers, a somewhat quiet offseason seems to have paid off. Coach Steve Kerr debuted a 12-man rotation in the Warriors’ dominant 139-104 road victory. That depth mainly benefits the Warriors’ up-tempo style of play; they held a 31-5 advantage on fastbreak points […]

Fresh off signing a three-year, $39 million extension that cements him as a fixture for the Golden State Warriors, Moses Moody entered Wednesday’s season-opener for the first time to open the second quarter. Even more damning, at least in the moment, of his place in the Dubs’ rotational hierarchy to tip off 2024-25? Moody was […]

So much for small-ball. Following a training camp and exhibition slate that left three starting spots open alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors have elected to start big for Wednesday night’s season opener against the Portland Trail Blazers. Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis will be on the floor for […]

One of the biggest questions entering the 2024-25 NBA season is the future of Jonathan Kuminga with the Golden State Warriors. After failing to earn a contract extension, Kuminga is set to become a restricted free agent next summer. While this is not all entirely surprising, it does raise some concerns about the 22-year-old’s relationship […]

The Golden State Warriors were a surprise NBA champion the last time they opened a season by going undefeated in exhibition play. That beloved 2021-22 squad bears at least passing resemblance to the current iteration of Golden State, too, with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green again leading one of the deepest rosters in basketball. Whether […]

Jonathan Kuminga didn’t get the contract extension he wanted from the Golden State Warriors. Frustrated as Kuminga may be now that he’s headed to restricted free agency next summer, though, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to turn the page as the regular season dawns. Not only is he surely relishing the opportunity to […]

The Golden State Warriors still don’t have a set starting lineup less than four days from tipoff of the regular season. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green’s spots have been cemented since before Media Day in late September, and Steve Kerr has indirectly suggested that Andrew Wiggins’ name is penciled along Golden State’s future Hall-of-Famers after […]

Coming off of a disastrous 2019-20 season that was marred by injuries and the offseason departure of Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors stumbled out of the gate but finished the 2020-21 season strong, going 16-6 in their final 22 regular season games before being eliminated in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Just a few months […]

The Golden State Warriors are getting ready to embark on a season unlike any other since the arrival of Stephen Curry. And if the preseason is anything to glean from, it could be a season to remember like no other, which seemingly has Warriors coach Steve Kerr and even former general manager Bob Myers in […]

The Golden State Warriors will wrap up their preseason on Friday evening against the Los Angeles Lakers, but they won’t have Stephen Curry on the floor. The franchise star sprained his finger again in practice earlier in the week and won’t play here, per Kendra Andrews. However, Curry is expected to play in the season […]

The nagging back issue that allowed the Golden State Warriors to sign De’Anthony Melton for the mid-level exception flared up again ahead of Tuesday’s preseason victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Brandin Podziemski joined him on the sidelines at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, waiting to be fitted for a protective mask after breaking his nose […]

The currently shorthanded Golden State Warriors are gearing up for the 2024-25 NBA season with some young talent poised to take the place of Klay Thompson. It will be a committee job considering just how much the future Hall of Famer meant to the organization but Steve Kerr’s squad must move on. Steph Curry needs […]

The NBA introduced the In-Season Tournament (since renamed to the NBA Cup) last season with the intention of drumming up excitement early on in the season. Most teams sleepwalk to begin the year and err on the side of caution, since they know that the season is won in a three-month stretch from April to […]

The Golden State Warriors will play the Los Angeles Lakers in their fourth 2024-25 preseason matchup on Tuesday night. Golden State will receive Stephen Curry’s services back amid his nursing of a finger injury. However, before the game started, Steve Kerr pivoted the conversation to Curry’s time spent with LeBron James on Team USA during […]

Steve Kerr’s wife is Margot Kerr. Steve is a former NBA player and the head coach of the Golden State Warriors. Steve is a nine-time NBA champion, winning five as a player and four as a coach. He was a part of two of the greatest dynasties in league history, the 1990s Chicago Bulls as […]

Steve Kerr has made it abundantly clear since training camp tipped off in Hawaii on October 1st. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are the new-look Golden State Warriors’ only cemented starters leading up to the regular season. The other three spots in the Dubs’ opening lineup, he swears, are truly up for grabs. Halfway through […]

For the first time since the 2010-2011, the Golden State Warriors are without Klay Thompson, who joined the Dallas Mavericks during the offseason. Time had run out for Thompson in the Bay, as his struggles in the playoffs since 2023 became too much for the team to handle, and he needed to revitalize his career. […]

With the Golden State Warriors signing and trading Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks, Steve Kerr wasted no time when the Warriors immediately brought in Buddy Hield. While Hield won’t fill the void left by Thompson, Kerr has no concerns about how he’ll use the former Philadelphia 76ers guard. “One of the reasons we are […]

A flaming hot Lindy Waters III sent the Golden State Warriors to dramatic victory on Saturday in Honolulu, his buzzer-beating triple yielding a 91-90 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Waters’ trey marked his fifth three-pointer across just 15 minutes of action, helping mask the new-look Dubs’ putrid performance from beyond the arc in their […]

The Golden State Warriors have some new players on their roster, but most of the same veterans are still on the team. With the departure of Klay Thompson, head coach Steve Kerr is looking to have a new offensive identity this season. Jonathan Kuminga spoke to reporters after training camp practice and shared what Kerr’s […]

The Golden State Warriors are in flux. After Klay Thompson left for the Dallas Mavericks, the team has done its best to fill in the void. Their failed trade attempts for Lauri Markkanen and Paul George signaled their confidence in their young players like Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Jonathan Kuminga. However, it remains unclear […]

There is a lot of pressure on this Golden State Warriors season. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are getting older and are in the downswing of their careers, and the Warriors have to make the most of the two of them while they are still healthy and able to perform at a high level. The […]

The last couple of seasons have been a struggle for Andrew Wiggins, to say the least. After the Golden State Warriors reclaimed their championship glory in 2022, a moment that very few expected when the season began, Wiggins was rewarded with a four-year, $109 million extension with the team due to the impact he made […]

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon recently revealed details about a conversation with Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr regarding a potential role with Team USA. Following a standout 2023-24 NBA season, Kerr, who is also the head coach of the U.S. men’s basketball team, floated the idea of Gordon joining the team for a […]

Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors are going their separate ways. It’s going to be weird to see Thompson in a white, blue and black no. 31 jersey. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green will be playing without the third member of their Big Three as they try to steer the Dubs back into title […]
