The Warriors finished last season as the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.

They lost to Domantas Sabonis and the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the NBA playoffs for the third time in the previous five years.

That said, the franchise has won four titles since 2015.
