Warriors' Georges Niang: Seeing run at center during training camp
Niang was seen playing some small-ball center during Thursday's scrimmage, and head coach Steve Kerr said he's "capable of playing small-ball five, but you've got to put the right group around him," Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Kerr noted that Niang's inclusion in small-ball lineups could "really be lethal" on the offensive end, though he has some concerns with rim protection. The Warriors have plenty of experience utilizing Draymond Green as a small-ball five, and with Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) without a timetable, Kerr could try Niang at center on occasion, especially if any combination of Porzingis, Green and Al Horford misses time during the season.

Warriors' Brandon Williams: Impressing in training camp
Williams has been impressive during training camp, with head coach Steve Kerr praising his speed and ability as a "defensive pest," Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Kerr called Williams the "fastest guy we've ever had," and he's made a positive impression with the Warriors thus far after signing a one-year deal with the club in late August. The 26-year-old guard was productive for the Mavericks in 2025-26, averaging 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 22.2 minutes per contest in 66 regular-season outings (15 starts). He'll likely fight to carve out a rotational role and figures to compete for playing time with the likes of De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton and Will Richard.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Ticketed for bench role Sunday
Santos isn't in line to start Sunday's preseason opener against the Clippers, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Warriors have a pair of starting positions up for grabs due to the absences of Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed), but it's set to be rookie Yaxel Lendeborg and veteran Al Horford claiming the spots in the first unit initially. Santos should still be in contention for a starting role at some point this preseason while Golden State mixes and matches its exhibition lineups, as Santos averaged 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 30 regular-season games as a starter in 2025-26.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Still months away from returning
The Warriors hope to have Butler (knee) back early in 2027, per Keith Watkins of Yahoo Sports.
Butler is still months away from retaking the floor, according to Nick Friedell of The Athletic, so a season debut at some point in December might be too optimistic. The star forward remains without a definitive timeline for a return after undergoing ACL surgery in early February, which typically carries at least a nine-month recovery period. Butler makes sense as an injury stash at the end of fantasy drafts, but managers should likely be bracing for him to miss at least the first two months of the regular season.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Starting in preseason opener
Lendeborg will start Golden State's preseason opener against the Clippers on Sunday, Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Lendeborg appears to be in a position to take on a substantial role right from the start of the 2026-27 season, and the Warriors are eager to see what he can do alongside the likes of Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski. He figures to see his share of work during the preseason to prepare him for his first NBA campaign.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will start preseason opener
Curry is expected to start Golden State's preseason opener against the Clippers on Sunday, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Curry was also spotted with the first unit Thursday during 5-on-5 work, so it appears the 38-year-old is feeling strong heading into the preseason. The star point guard signed a two-year, $116 million contract extension in late September, and while concerns remain about his right knee, the Warriors don't appear to be overly concerned with his workload at this point, though he's sure to sit a few games of the preseason to ensure he enters the 2026-27 campaign as fresh as possible.

Warriors' Will Richard: Working with third team
Richard took part in 5-on-5 work with the third team at Warriors camp Thursday, Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
This updates doesn't come as much of a shock, as Richard could find himself near the back end of the team's rotation if the Warriors can stay healthy this season. He put together a decent rookie campaign a year ago, averaging 6.5 points, 2.5 assists, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals over 69 appearances while Golden State was forced to navigate without Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski and De'Anthony Melton down the stretch.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Wants to shoot more threes
Podziemski said at Warriors media day he wants to shoot more threes per game, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Head coach Steve Kerr is in full support as well, offering Podziemski encouragement Wednesday to fire away from downtown. Podziemski opened last season as a part-time starter before moving into a full-time position with the first unit post-All-Star break, averaging 17.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 steals in his final 27 regular-season games, and he could become a lethal threat from deep especially once Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) are both in the mix.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Aiming for better results post-surgery
Melton revealed this offseason that he underwent surgery on each of his thumbs, per Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com.
Melton is fully recovered now, but playing through the discomfort resulted in him shooting just 29.4 percent from deep during the regular season, his lowest mark since 2019-20 with Memphis. The swingman is competing at training camp with Gui Santos and Yaxel Lendeborg for a starting role, and Melton has shown he is capable of being an effective nine-category fantasy player when healthy after averaging at least 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in five straight seasons.

Warriors' Gui Santos: 'In the mix' for spot in starting lineup
Santos is "in the mix" for a spot in the starting lineup, Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Per head coach Steve Kerr, there will be "an open competition" for the three spots in the starting lineup alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Santos is coming off his best season with the Warriors in 2025-26. The 2022 No. 55 overall pick appeared in 68 regular-season games, including 30 starts, and averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists, all career highs, across 20.5 minutes per contest. While Santos could earn an opportunity to start come opening night, that may not last, considering Kerr has been known to change things up throughout any given season. The same is true if Santos begins the 2026-27 campaign as a reserve.

Warriors' Charles Bassey: Could play larger role
Bassey could see more playing time to begin the season if Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) isn't ready for Opening Night.
Bassey bounced around last season, appearing for the Warriors, 76ers, Grizzlies and Celtics, but he's looking to find a home in Golden State. Assuming Draymond Green starts at power forward, Bassey could challenge veteran Al Horford for the starting position at center if Porzingis is out to start the year.

Warriors' Al Horford: Could play expanded role
Horford could open the season as a starter if Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) isn't ready for Opening Night.
Horford's best fantasy days may be behind him at 40 years old, but the opportunity for a larger role exists while Porzingis is on the mend. The veteran big man provided late-round fantasy numbers as a starter last regular season, having averaged 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 blocks in 23.7 minutes per contest over 13 games in the first unit.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Given green light from deep
Head coach Steve Kerr wants Green to shoot more open three-pointers this season, per Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com.
Green already took a career-high 4.6 three-point attempts per game last regular season, and it sounds like there's room for growth in that area. The veteran forward is worthy of a late-round pick in most fantasy leagues this fall, but he'll likely need the playmaking threats of Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) to be in the lineup in order to maximize his efficiency.

Warriors' Miles Kelly: Lands camp deal
Kelly signed a training camp contract with the Warriors on Sunday.
Kelly will fight for a spot on the Warriors' roster ahead of the regular season. However, the team also owns his G League rights, so the 23-year-old wing will likely join the Santa Cruz Warriors if he's let go by Golden State.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Eyes sizable role in 2026-27
Head coach Steve Kerr said Monday that Lendeborg is "clearly going to play a ton," regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
The No. 11 overall pick in this year's draft, Lendeborg is fresh off winning a national championship with Michigan, where he averaged 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals in 30.2 minutes per tilt across 40 games. He also earned Big Ten Player of the Year honors. The forward will be 24 years old when the season begins, and he'll seemingly step into a significant role right away for a Golden State team trying to win another title in the twilight of Stephen Curry's career.

Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Out indefinitely
Porzingis is out indefinitely due to an undisclosed issue, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Porzingis will miss the start of training camp due to the unknown issue, and his status for the beginning of the regular season is murky. If the veteran big man is forced to miss time to begin the campaign, Al Horford and Charles Bassey would be candidates for increased playing time.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Progressing in recovery
Butler has been cleared to participate in light on-court activities, Evan Webeck of the California Post reports.
Butler tore the ACL in his right knee in January before undergoing surgery in early February. The star forward still does not have a clear timetable for a return to game action, though it's encouraging to see his progression thus far. The 37-year-old appeared in 38 games during the 2025-26 regular season, averaging 20.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals across 31.1 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Trending in right direction
Moody has progressed to light on-court activities as he continues his recovery from a ruptured left patellar tendon, Evan Webeck of The Mercury News reports.
Moody suffered the injury March 23 and underwent season-ending surgery four days later. The 24-year-old had been targeting September to resume running and on-court work, so his latest progress appears to keep his rehabilitation on track, though he remains without a firm timetable for his return to game action.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Agrees to two-year extension
Curry agreed to a two-year, $116 million contract extension with the Warriors on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Curry was eligible to sign a two-year, $136.7 million extension, though he took a discount to remain with Golden State as the team looks to win another championship in the twilight of the superstar point guard's career. The extension includes a player option for the 2028-29 campaign. The two-time MVP is coming off an injury-riddled 2025-26 season in which he appeared in just 43 regular-season games (41 starts), averaging 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 4.4 triples, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.9 minutes per contest while shooting 39.3 percent from downtown. There is some concern regarding Curry's long-term health after he dealt with patellofemoral pain syndrome in his right knee last season, according to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area & California, though he's expected to be ready to go once training camp rolls around.

Warriors' Lajae Jones: Signs overseas
Jones has signed overseas with Pallacanestro Trieste in Italy, Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The 2026 second-round pick was expected to be a draft-and-stash selection. The Warriors will sign Graham Ike to their final two-way slot following this news.
