With training camp set to begin Tuesday, the Warriors’ roster for the 2025-26 NBA season is nearly complete.

Though Jonathan Kuminga’s status remains up in the air, Golden State has added several key pieces this week or is in the process of doing so: re-signing Gary Payton II, reportedly agreeing to sign De’Anthony Melton and committing to a contract with Al Horford.

These moves, coupled with the Warriors’ returning core and youngsters on the rise, have star point guard Steph Curry feeling confident about the campaign ahead.

“I think with this last little piece that needs to settle, I think I’m extremely happy with a different look,” Curry told reporters Monday at Warriors Media Day. “We’re just trying to carry the momentum that we had from last year, understanding getting through an 82-game season is the challenge for every team, but especially a veteran team. But the way that we finished [2024-25] and the record that we had, and obviously before I got hurt during the [2025 NBA playoffs] second round, we were a relevant threat, and I think we’ve gotten better.”

The Warriors closed out the 2024-25 season going 23-7 with Jimmy Butler in the lineup after acquiring the veteran forward at the NBA trade deadline. But with Butler banged up and Curry knocked out with a hamstring injury in the Western Conference semifinals, their NBA Finals hopes ended with a Game 5 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Now, Golden State will look to build upon that late-season success with aging vets Curry, Butler and Draymond Green leading the way. Though the Warriors lost longtime center Kevon Looney to the New Orleans Pelicans this offseason in NBA free agency, Curry is confident in the group Golden State has now — including young big men Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

“It’s tough to lose Loon, like that’s a big deal knowing what he meant to our franchise, but we have a lot of pieces that are going to have an opportunity to take that next step,” Curry said. “Like every NBA season, I said the same thing last year, probably on the podium right here. [We] started 12-3, and then all hell broke loose for a good couple months. So, you can only do what you can to control your mentality going into the year. And I think it’s really optimistic and positive around here, and that’s how it should be.”

While the Warriors wait for the Kuminga dominoes to fall, it’s clear Curry is confident in the group that will begin this new season together.
