The NBA season is finally upon us and the Warriors are heading into it undefeated. Yes, Steve Kerr’s squad did not lose even a single game in the preseason and looked in great form despite the massive revamp. And they hope to carry this momentum to tomorrow’s season opener against the Trail Blazers. However, there were concerns regarding Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski’s availability for the game because of recent injuries. However, Dub Nation can breathe a sigh of relief following the latest update on the two stars.

Surprisingly, the Warriors are going into the opener with a blank injury report. That means both Steph and Podz who were banged up a few days ago have completely recovered, cleared to suit up tomorrow. Similarly, the rest of the squad is also healthy and ready to go.

Well, the Baby-Faced Assassin jammed his finger in the first half of the game against the Kings. Sure enough, he sat out for the rest of the game and finished the night with only 6 points. Moreover, he even missed the following game because of the injury. While Stephen Curry played in only four preseason games, he looked in great form and averaged eleven points in limited minutes. And there is no doubt that he will continue that form in the regular season, especially after his recent Paris Olympics heroics.

On the other hand, Brandin Podziemski had been dealing with a broken nose ever since he took an accidental elbow to the face from Trayce Jackson-Davis during the Pistons game. But in the five games that he played, he looked in decent form, averaging nearly 10 points. Surely, the Warriors will be at a huge advantage tomorrow with both their stars returning healthy.

Warriors Depth Chart ahead of 2024-25 season

With their two stars back and no one else on the injury report, Steve Kerr will have a ton of flexibility in his lineup for the season opener. And this is what the team’s depth chart looks like:

PG
Stephen Curry
Brandin Podziemski
Pat Spencer

SG
De’Anthony Melton

SF
Andrew Wiggins
Moses Moody
Gary Payton II

PF
Jonathan Kuminga
Kyle Anderson
Quinten Post

C
Draymond Green
Trayce Jackson-Davis
Kevon Looney

Well, ever since Klay’s departure, Steve Kerr has been experimenting with multiple starting lineups to find the most productive combination to put on the floor. So, it is not certain which five players will start the game tomorrow. But going by what we’ve seen, the starting five are likely to include: Stephen Curry, De’Anthony Melton, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and Draymond Green.

Moreover, the Blazers are a relatively easy team to face for the Bay Area side’s first game. So, Steve Kerr could most likely continue experimenting with his rotation tomorrow as well. Who do you think will start the game for the Warriors?
