Golden State Warriors
October 2025
Golden State are testing an older core with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and Al Horford. Butler strained an ankle in practice and will miss the Blazers preseason trip with a possible return by Friday.
Brandin Podziemski impressed with expanded touches. Kerr is calibrating lineups for health, defense, and shooting balance. Early availability for Butler will shape opening rotations around Curry’s usage.
