The Golden State Warriors know that time is running out to win another championship with superstar point guard Stephen Curry leading the way for them. Entering the 2025-26 NBA season, Curry is now 37 years old.
Last season, the Warriors were able to make a run to the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference. Not only did they get into the playoffs, they were able to pull off an upset over the No. 2-seeded Houston Rockets. Unfortunately, Curry was injured in the second round with a hamstring issue and Golden State was quickly eliminated.
Heading into the upcoming season, Curry will have a very good roster around him. Jimmy Butler will be his No. 2 star with Draymond Green also back for another season. The Warriors also just completed a plethora of roster moves.

Among the roster moves were the signings of Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, and Seth Curry. Jonathan Kuminga was also re-signed to a two-year contract.
On the outside looking in, Golden State looks the part of a potential NBA Finals contender. Curry believes that his team has a shot to win it all.
“We have a legitimate shot. We can square up against anybody in the west. Jimmy adds another dynamic that we didn’t even have back (in 2022),” Curry said.
Needless to say, that is a clear warning being sent to the rest of the NBA by one of the most dynamic guards in the league. Curry is brimming with confidence and he has a lot of talent around him. Steve Kerr will have a lot of different options to work with this season.
Last year, Curry continued playing at a very high level. His shooting numbers dipped a bit, but he’s still one of the most lethal scorers in the NBA.

In the 70 games he played for the Warriors, Curry averaged 24.5 points per game to go along with six assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. He also shot 44.8 percent from the floor and 39.7 percent from three-point range.
All of that being said, it will be interesting to see what Golden State is able to do this season. Curry is still the face of the franchise, but he will have a lot more help this season than he had a year ago.
