Warriors regular-season schedule for 2022-23 released

The Warriors 2022-23 regular-season schedule is officially here.

The Golden State Warriors’ path to defending their title has been revealed. On Wednesday, the NBA officially announced 2022-23 schedules for all 30 teams, including the defending champs. 

The Warriors will start the 82-game slate against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 19 with a ring ceremony at Chase Center in San Francisco. The Warriors will open the 2022-23 season with a three-game homestand against the Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Northern California rival Sacramento Kings. 

The Warriors’ first road contest will be against Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 25. 

In the first half of the season, the Warriors play several featured matchups against projected playoff teams, including two games against the Miami Heat, three games against the Suns and two games against the Brooklyn Nets. 

The Warriors will have both of their NBA Finals rematches against the Boston Celtics before the All-Star break. The Warriors will get a break for All-Star weekend beginning Feb. 19.  

The Warriors’ final regular-season home game will come against Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder on April 4 in San Francisco. Golden State will finish the season with road games against the Kings and Portland Trail Blazers.

Andrew Wiggins has COVID-19 vaccine religious exemption denied

Andrew Wiggins will be held out of home games due to the NBA denying his request for religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine

Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins had his request for a religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccine denied by the NBA on Friday.

The league’s decision means Wiggins will not be allowed to participate in Warriors home games due to the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s city vaccination requirements. The current order states that all people 12 years and older have to be vaccinated in order to attend large indoor gatherings such as an NBA game.

While the rules in other cities will allow Wiggins to play, he as of now is in jeopardy of missing every single Warriors home game. Here is a look at the NBA’s statement regarding the denial of his request for religious exemption:

The first chance to see this decision impact Wiggins and the Warriors is on October 6, when Golden State hosts the Nuggets in preseason action.

Report: Isaiah Thomas to likely seek a ‘ clearer opportunity’ after strong workouts with the Warriors

The Warriors and Isaiah Thomas were reportedly unable to come to a deal

The Golden State Warriors made headlines last week as they brought in two-time NBA All-Star Isaiah Thomas for workouts. While there initially looked to be hope that the Warriors and Thomas could potentially work out an agreement for the upcoming season, the former Celtics star is now reportedly seeking a different opportunity.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Thomas had a strong week of workouts with Golden State. The issue was more of what the Warriors wanted to prioritize for their final few roster spots. Per Slater, Thomas left without a deal and will look for an opportunity that provides a clearer path to making an NBA roster:

Thomas last played in the NBA on a 10-day contract with the New Orleans Pelicans during the 2021 season. Since his NBA All-Star seasons in 2016 and 2017, the former Washington Husky has dealt with chronic injury issues that have limited his mobility and effectiveness. A hip issue has kept Thomas out for much of the past few seasons as he looks to climb his way back into the NBA.

Proving their commitment to wing depth, the Warriors signed veteran wing Avery Bradley earlier today. 

While the roster construction didn’t work out for the Warriors, there will certainly be other chances for Thomas to get himself back into an NBA rotation providing he stays healthy.

Golden State Warriors reveal first half of games on 2020-21 NBA season schedule

After starting the season with trips to Brooklyn and Milwaukee, the Warriors revealed the first half of games on their 2020-21 schedule.

Over the last eight months, the Golden State Warriors basketball calendar has remained empty. On Friday, that changed.

After announcing the opening week of the 2020-21 season that featured a pair of Warriors road games, the NBA announced the first 37 games on the schedule.

Following Golden State’s nationally televised games on opening night against the Brooklyn Nets and Christmas Day’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Warriors will cap off a four-game east coast road trip before returning to the Bay Area for their home opener at Chase Center.

On New Year’s Day, the Warriors will welcome Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers to San Francisco for the first game at Chase Center since March. Golden State’s New Year’s Day tilt against the Trail Blazers will start a seven-game homestand. In January, the Warriors will play 12 of their 17 games at Chase Center.

With seven of their first 10 games coming against fellow postseason contenders like the Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors, the Warriors will quickly find out what type of team they have with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, James Wiseman, Kelly Oubre Jr, and Andrew Wiggins.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Warriors will take a trip to Southern California for their first game against the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors will match up with the Lakers again in Los Angeles at the end of February.

Counting down the 6 most important games left on the schedule in Steph Curry’s return

Although the Warriors are out of the playoff picture, the remaining games left on the schedule will be crucial for Stephen Curry as he returns from an injury that caused him to miss four months of the season.

Most teams at the bottom of the NBA standings are either going through a rebuild or about to start one. Yet, for the Golden State Warriors, things are a bit different.

With 20 games remaining on the season, Curry made his long-awaited return against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday, March 5. The two-time Most Valuable Player recorded 23 points on 6-of-16 shooting with seven assists and six rebounds.

How Curry adjusts to his surgically repaired hand while building chemistry with his new teammates like Andrew Wiggins and Marquese Chriss will give Golden State a glimpse of what their future could look like.

Here are Golden State’s six most important games on the calendar with Curry back in the rotation:
