Last season, the start of the San Francisco Chase Center era did not go as planned for the Golden State Warriors.
With Klay Thompson missing the entire season with a torn ACL in his knee and Steph Curry only playing five games due to a hand injury, the Warriors’ streak of five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals came to a close.
After missing an invite to the NBA’s Orlando Bubble with a league-low 15-50 record, the Warriors haven’t laced up for a basketball game in nine months. After an extended layoff, a healthy edition of Curry is slated to lead the Warriors for their 2020-21 campaign.
Although the two-time Most Valuable Player will be back as the starting point guard, the team surrounding Curry will look quite different in comparison to the last time the Warriors made a run to the postseason.
Following a torn Achilles late in the offseason, Thompson will miss his second consecutive season with a significant injury.
With Thompson sidelined, offseason addition Kelly Oubre Jr. and No. 2 overall draft pick James Wiseman will likely slide into the rotation alongside Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins and Curry.
Before the Warriors open the season against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 22, here is a look at the rest of Golden State’s roster for the 2020-21 NBA calendar.
