While lining up against James, Damian Lillard and reigning Most Valuable player Nikola Jokic, the preseason will be a solid test run for the new-look Warriors.
As the new coaching staff behind Steve Kerr develops James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, offseason signings Otto Porter Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica will have the opportunity to play alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
The Warriors will open the preseason on Monday, Oct. 4 at The Moda Center in Portland against the Blazers.
