Golden State Warriors

Golden State Warriors

I was the 13th guy on a 12-man basketball team. But here I am in the NBA for my 27th season,

SAN FRANCISCO Kevon Looney had navigated Chase Center's winding halls hundreds of times during his 11-year career. But Saturday afternoon's trek through the glitzy San Francisco arena was his first as a visiting player, an unfamiliar experience for the former Warrior still adored by the organization and its fans. I thought I knew the Chase Center like the back of my hand, Looney, now a member of the Pelicans, said.

A mobile 7-footer who can bomb threes and attack off the dribble while getting to the free throw line at an elite rate, he is the kind of frontcourt player NBA teams have coveted ever since the Curry-and-Kerr Warriors revolutionized the NBA almost a decade ago. Now, the shorthanded Warriors will have to deal with a blossoming superstar they reportedly were close to trading for a year ago.

I say it's the greatest upset in the history of major sports in the United States of America, Barry, 83, told the Bay Area News Group. We weren't even going to be a playoff team or get to the Finals, and then supposedly it's going to be a sweep. Then we sweep the team that was supposed to sweep us. You can't find anything more dramatic than that.

The Warriors, riddled with injuries, have barely survived an opening gauntlet that has seen them play 11 games in 21 days. A tough schedule is about to ratchet up in difficulty. Their opening stretch looks like a cakewalk compared to what is to come. The next nine days will see the Warriors travel from Oklahoma City to Miami for a six-game trip that features five games against probable playoff opponents.

It's timeeeee... for the Summer 2026 internship application cycle! I was lucky enough to intern for the Golden State Warriors last summer, which was one of the highlights of my college experience thus far. I learned so much and met so many amazing people, and it definitely helped me decide what I want to do post grad.

SAN FRANCISCO With back-to-back away losses behind them and a brutal six-game road trip lying ahead, the Warriors took advantage of the team's only home game in a 16-day stretch on Sunday evening. Golden State won 114-83 in what was, mostly, a rock-fight of a basketball game until late in the third quarter. Jimmy Butler led the team with 21 points, while Moses Moody scored 13, Brandin Podziemski had 14 and Quinten Post scored 14.

DENVER Effort. There is no stat to measure it. It cannot be felt, moved or heard. But it can be seen. And it certainly can be noticed, both in its abundance, and in the case of the Warriors' 129-104 shellacking on Friday night at the hands of the Nuggets in an Emirates Cup group stage matchup, in its absence.

SACRAMENTO Stephen Curry did not accompany the Warriors on their 90-minute bus ride here late Tuesday night, and by the time Golden State tipped off Wednesday against the Kings, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler had also been ruled out. Without any of the team's top three players, coach Steve Kerr opted to insert rookie guard Will Richard, second-year center Quentin Post and shooting guard Moses Moody into the starting lineup alongside Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga.

A substantial number of the Milwaukee faithful attended Thursday night's game at Fiserv Forum dressed in colorful Halloween costumes. But nothing in the stands were as frightening as Milwaukee's offense in the Warriors 120-110 loss. Even without superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, a late scratch with a left knee injury, the Bucks got whatever shot they wanted. And it was a long-forgotten Golden State castoff who led the way.

When you're a kid, when you'd watch it, you'd definitely want to be in it, Podziemski said before Thursday's game against his hometown Bucks. I had that dream for sure.

So, during a timeout, assistants Terry Stotts and Chris DeMarco made a suggestion. Butler subbed in for Will Richard at the 4:21 mark of the fourth quarter, Green took the place of Brandin Podziemski with 3:50 to play, and besides a few seconds on the final possession of regulation, the five-man lineup closed out the final 8 minutes, 50 seconds of what turned into a 137-131 overtime win.
