Golden State Warriors Training Camp 2026: Curry's Future Uncertain

The Golden State Warriors know where the next chapter of their story will begin. They just don’t know, officially, if Stephen Curry will be signed on for all of it.

On Monday, the franchise locked in the opening scene of its 2026 campaign, announcing that training camp will return to BYU-Hawaii on Oahu. Camp will run from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3, before a six-game preseason slate opens against the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 4 at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

The schedule is set. The countdown has started. The signature that defines it all has not.

Camp in Paradise, Business in the Background

This will be Golden State’s second training camp on Oahu in three years and its sixth overall trip to BYU-Hawaii. The Warriors previously set up shop there in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2024, a long-running relationship that has turned the North Shore campus into a familiar preseason outpost.

From Hawaii, the team will fly back to San Francisco to face the Lakers at Chase Center on Oct. 6, head to Portland on Oct. 7, host Sacramento on Oct. 10 and see the Lakers again on Oct. 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The preseason closes at home against Portland on Oct. 16.

By then, the franchise would love to have the other looming date on the calendar — the day Curry commits to his next deal.

The two-time MVP became eligible Saturday for a two-year, $136.7 million maximum extension, a contract that would keep him under team control through the 2028-29 season. He is 38, entering the final year of his current agreement, worth $62.6 million.

There is no noise about him bolting. No trade whispers. No tension leaking out. There is also no ink on a new contract.

“There’s no question I want to be here the rest of my career, and I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen,” Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area. The intent is clear. The timeline is not.

Curry Calm, Front Office on the Clock

General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has not been coy about the organization’s stance. Golden State wants Curry extended before the season tips off. The franchise is trying to lock down its cornerstone before training camp drills begin under the Hawaiian sun.

Curry, though, is not sprinting to the negotiating table.

“The deal and the contract stuff will happen at the right time, and we’re not letting it be a distraction from our preparation for the season, and the fact that the team we’re coming back with has a lot of familiarity,” he told NBC Sports Bay Area.

For him, the focus is on the group, the work, the next season. For the front office, that “right time” comes with a little more urgency.

Because everything the Warriors are planning — from how long they lean on this core to what the next rebuild might look like — flows from whether No. 30 is tied down through 2029.

Familiar Faces, Fragile Health

That familiar roster Curry referenced won’t be fully intact when camp opens.

Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody are both rehabbing significant knee injuries and are expected to miss the start of the season, leaving early gaps in the rotation before a competitive Western Conference race even begins.

Golden State held onto its veteran backbone: Draymond Green, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, Gary Payton II and De’Anthony Melton all return. The Warriors added Georges Niang, Brandon Williams and lottery pick Yaxel Lendeborg to inject fresh legs and a bit of upside into a group that still leans on experience and chemistry.

They need all of it after a bruising 37-45 campaign in which injuries shredded continuity and torpedoed playoff hopes. Curry suited up in only 43 games, and every absence reminded the franchise how thin the margin is when its superstar is in street clothes.

For Golden State, health is no longer just a subplot. It is as central to their ambitions as any signing, trade or extension.

One Date Still Missing

Now the Warriors know where they’ll gather, when they’ll start and who, broadly, will be with them.

• Sept. 29: camp in Hawaii.
• Oct. 4: Clippers in Honolulu.
• Oct. 16: preseason finale against Portland at Chase Center.

The calendar is neatly blocked out, the flights can be booked, the practice plans can be drawn.

Only one empty space lingers over it all — the day Stephen Curry walks into an office, picks up a pen, and commits the final prime years of his career to the only franchise he’s ever known.

Until that happens, every date is locked in. Except the one that matters most.
