The Golden State Warriors announced their preseason schedule Monday, which will see another early encounter with the Minnesota Timberwolves to tip things off on Sept. 29 at Oracle Arena. This will be the last season the Warriors play at Oracle.
The two-time defending champions will take on the Sacramento Kings in a nostalgic trip to Key Arena, the old home of the Seattle SuperSonics, on Oct. 5, only to come back to The Bay one more time to take on top overall pick Deandre Ayton and the Phoenix Suns.
The first game against the Timberwolves will feature a Draymond Green championship bobblehead for the first 10,000 fans in attendance, while the same treatment will be offered for Monday's game, this time with a Stephen Curry parade bobblehead.

The Warriors will end the five-game preseason tour with two stints outside of NBA arenas, first taking on LeBron James' new team, the Los Angeles Lakers, for a much awaited battle at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Oct. 10, before concluding a home-and-away series on Oct. 12 at the SAP Center in San Jose, which will have the perk of a Kevin Durant hockey-themed bobblehead.
