Despite a 4-1 start, the Warriors struggled throughout the season. Star player Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending ACL injury on January 19, 2026 against the Miami Heat which sidelined him for the rest of the season.
With their loss against the New York Knicks on March 15, the Warriors failed to improve on their 48–34 record from the previous season. Following their loss to the Houston Rockets on April 5, the Warriors suffered their first losing season since 2020, and their first in a full season since 2011.
On March 29, the Warriors clinched a play-in spot for the third straight year and eventually finishing 10th in the West. In the first stage, they eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers through a comeback win. However, they were soundly beaten by the Phoenix Suns in the second round of the play-in tournament, as they were eliminated from playoff contention for the second time in three seasons and the fourth time since 2020.
Draft picks
edit| Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | College / Club |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 41 | Koby Brea | SG | Kentucky (Sr.) |
The Warriors entered the draft holding only one selection, which was the 41st overall pick in the second round.[1][2] The pick originally belonged to the Miami Heat and was conveyed to the Warriors when it fell outside its top-37 protection as part of a December 2024 trade with the Brooklyn Nets.[3] The Warriors previously traded their original first and second-round selections to Miami (as part of the Jimmy Butler deal in February 2025) and Brooklyn (ended up with the Memphis Grizzlies on draft night), respectively.[4][5]
During the second round of the draft, Golden State traded the draft rights to the 41st pick (Koby Brea) to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for the rights to the 52nd (Alex Toohey) and 59th (Jahmai Mashack) selections.[6][7] In a subsequent transaction, the Warriors acquired the rights to the 56th pick (Will Richard) from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for the rights to the 59th pick (Jahmai Mashack), the rights to Justinian Jessup (51st pick in 2020), and a protected 2032 second-round pick.[8][9]
