2024–25 Golden State Warriors season
NBA professional basketball team season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024–25 Golden State Warriors season was the 79th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 63rd in the San Francisco Bay Area, and their sixth season at the Chase Center. This was the first time since the 2010–11 season that franchise mainstay Klay Thompson wasn't on the club's opening night roster, as he left to join the Dallas Mavericks over the off-season through a sign-and-trade deal. The team also hosted the 2025 NBA All-Star Game at the Chase Center.

The Warriors started the season hot, going 12–3 in their first 15 games. However, they suddenly had a collapse, losing 4 consecutive games to end November, plus 2 three-game losing skids to end December, only winning 4 out of their 13 games. Despite that, the Warriors advanced to the 2024 NBA Cup knockout stage as the winner of West Group C. They finished the group stage with a 3–1 record, winning the tiebreaker over the Dallas Mavericks by virtue of their head-to-head win on November 12. However, they were eliminated by the Houston Rockets in the quarterfinals of the knockout stage.
On February 5, the Warriors and the Miami Heat agreed on a five-team trade to acquire Jimmy Butler from Miami in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and a first round pick, while Dennis Schröder and Lindy Waters III, along with a second round pick were sent to the Detroit Pistons. The Warriors managed to improve their record from the previous year on April 8 with a win over the Phoenix Suns, eventually finishing 7th in the West with a 48–34 record.
On April 13, the Warriors clinched their second consecutive play-in berth following a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. On April 15, the Warriors clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2023 following a win over the Memphis Grizzlies in the first stage of the play-in tournament. As the seventh seed, the Warriors faced off against the second-seeded Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors took an early 3–1 series lead, but the Rockets won the next two games to force a game 7. The Warriors won game 7, clinching an appearance in the conference semifinals where they lost Stephen Curry to an injury. They would win game one, but then lose to the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in five games.
The Golden State Warriors drew an average home attendance of 18,061, the 15th-highest of all NBA teams.[1]
Draft
| Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | School / club team |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 52 | Quinten Post | C | Boston College (Sr.) |
The Warriors entered this draft (which was two days long instead of just one day long like it previously has been since the NBA draft was shortened down to two rounds in 1989) with just one second-round pick, which was originally owned by the Milwaukee Bucks.[2] The second-round pick was acquired from the Indiana Pacers as the least favorable pick in a six-team hierarchy after Milwaukee finished the previous season with the best record among them. The team had previously traded its original first-round pick to the Memphis Grizzlies (conveyed to the Portland Trail Blazers as it landed outside the Top 4 following the draft lottery) as well as its original second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks (conveyed to the Houston Rockets as it landed outside the 56th-to-60th range).[3]
Near the end of the second day of the draft, the Warriors selected the Dutch-born center Quinten Post from Boston College.
