SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors are expected to be prominently featured on two of the NBA’s biggest days.

The Warriors will open the season on Oct. 21 at the Los Angeles Lakers, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The game will be the second of a double-header broadcast on NBC, the first NBA games the network has aired since the last game of the 2002 NBA Finals.

The Steph Curry-led Warriors are also reported to be playing against the Mavericks on Christmas day. Dallas recently selected Duke’s Cooper Flagg with the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

The full NBA schedule, which is traditionally released in mid-August, is expected to be made public next week.

By the time the Warriors tip off against LeBron James and the Lakers, the team will likely have come to some sort of resolution in the Jonathan Kuminga situation. The 22-year-old forward is an unrestricted free agent.

The Warriors, which have almost $140 million in salary going to the Big 3 of Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler, remains the only team to not make a single transaction since the start of free agency.
