Golden State Warriors Kick Off 2024-25 NBA Season: Schedule, Roster, and Key Matchups

The Golden State Warriors are set to begin the 2024-25 NBA season with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on October 23. This game marks the start of a new era for the Warriors, who will be without Klay Thompson, one of their iconic “Splash Brothers,” after he joined the Dallas Mavericks in the offseason. Despite this change, the team remains hopeful with Stephen Curry still at the helm.

The Warriors’ schedule for the 2024-25 season is now available, with their first few games including matches against the Trail Blazers on October 23, the Utah Jazz on October 25, and the Los Angeles Clippers on October 27. The regular season will conclude on April 13, 2025.

In addition to Curry, key players such as Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Kevon Looney will be back to support the team. New acquisitions include Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson, and De'Anthony Melton, who are expected to play significant roles. Young players like Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Brandin Podziemski will also be crucial as the team navigates the post-Thompson era.

The starting lineup is still being finalized, with competitions for the small forward and shooting guard positions. Kuminga and Wiggins are vying for the small forward spot, while Podziemski and Melton are competing for the shooting guard role alongside Curry. Buddy Hield is slated to be the sixth man, providing a strong scoring option off the bench.
