Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors failed to take advantage of Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence on Thursday night.

The Golden State Warriors, who have started the 2025-26 NBA season showcasing their impressive depth, may soon receive another significant boost to their rotation.

MILWAUKEE — As the NBA world heard the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo was a last-minute scratch just before Thursday night’s game because of left knee soreness, the consensus from many was that the Golden State Warriors would cruise to a victory against an undermanned team playing without one of the best players in the game.

The Golden State Warriors, at 4-1, are one of the very best teams in the NBA to start the young season. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler appear to be beating Father Time, and the Warriors look primed to go on a deep run.

Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy says he is "confident" Steve Kerr will be back after the 2025-26 NBA season.

The Golden State Warriors are just three games into the 2025-26 NBA season. So far, they have turned in a 2-1 record and have looked the part of a potential championship contender.

Golden State has one of the oldest rosters in the NBA. There are genuine concerns regarding the longevity of the current roster, especially veteran stars such as Stephen Curry and Al Horford. However, if the elder statesmen of the locker room can remain healthy, Kerr's team will be incredibly difficult to beat.

Steve Kerr explained why he doesn't view the Warriors' road loss to the Bucks a let down amid their 4-2 start to the season.
