If last night was it, Draymond Green said it best: “It’s been a hell of a run.” Warriors’ season, and possibly more, ends in Phoenix. sfstandard.com/2026/04/18/w...

The Valkyries and WNBA have all the momentum in the world. Self-inflicted wounds are the only thing that can stop that. sfstandard.com/2026/04/14/o...

It’s finally here: A Warriors game with stakes. Early look at Wednesday’s single-elimination matchup with the Clippers: sfstandard.com/2026/04/13/w...

The Warriors' penultimate regular season performance didn't exactly put fear into their possible play-in opponent(s). sfstandard.com/2026/04/11/s...

Gui Santos has been one of the biggest stories of the Warriors’ season. He has had a crew of six Brazilian filmmakers following him around every step of the way. “From a director’s perspective, the narrative arc was perfect.”  sfstandard.com/2026/04/10/g...

Sat down with a couple Warriors coaches to talk about their futures. Steve Kerr, Nicholas Kerr, and enjoying it all while it lasts: sfstandard.com/2026/04/07/s...

The Warriors are stuck in 10th. Can’t move up or down. Their last few games before the play-in should be used to experiment — especially with actions involving Steph Curry and Kristaps Porzingis, who played together for the first time ever last night. sfstandard.com/2026/04/06/s...

Steph Curry is expected to play tomorrow after two months dealing with runner’s knee. The sun’s shining on the Warriors again. sfstandard.com/2026/04/04/s...

The Warriors have big roster decisions on the horizon. So I built an app to help understand some of them. Introducing KRISTAPS, an AI-powered super simulator that predicts future NBA contracts. Check it out @sfstandard.com: sfstandard.com/2026/04/01/w...

Sitting at 11 or 12 (or moving up to 1-4) in this very good draft is looking increasingly valuable to the Warriors right now. They need an influx of young talent. Which is why they have to look at other ways to upgrade WITHOUT giving up the 1st. sfstandard.com/2026/03/28/w...

"We’re not bringing him back, like, for the play-in game. He needs some games. We need to give him a runway if this is going to work. And we are running out of games...But he’s still working, Rick is working with him, with the mindset that he will be back.” sfstandard.com/2026/03/27/s...

Gui Santos: The last wing standing sfstandard.com/2026/03/27/g...

"I think if there’s an inkling of a doubt with his knee, no. I don’t." sfstandard.com/2026/03/26/s...

The Moses Moody knee injury sucks. No two ways about it. Not quite sure how, but the Warriors got hexed this year. sfstandard.com/2026/03/24/m...

This was fair-handed when much of the Podz discourse is not. In 20+ games without Steph, and Podz facing the defenders Steph gets, he’s struggling. His skills and ceiling are on display, and he’s wearing down now after playing heavy minutes. Podz hasn’t missed a game all season.

Steve Kerr had a lot to say about Brandin Podziemski over the weekend. He was spot-on. Podziemski’s opportunity largely isn’t going as he’d hoped. It may be helpful to look at him as the player he already is, not the one he strives to become one day. sfstandard.com/2026/03/23/r...

The Warriors still have a ton of love for Jonathan Kuminga, who struggled in his revenge game last night. They’re rooting for him. But both sides have moved on. The stans and the opps can, too. From Atlanta, an appeal for discourse cease-fire: sfstandard.com/2026/03/22/j...

Ever wonder what kind of music the Warriors listen to on the road? We've got you covered @sfstandard: sfstandard.com/2026/03/19/c...

"Can’t flip a switch in this league." The Warriors are backing into the Play-In Tournament, but they don't want to let themselves get back-cut into it. From Boston, where a lack of game plan discipline cost the 10th place Warriors: sfstandard.com/2026/03/18/w...

From the District of Columbia, where Jimmy Butler arrived and provided an emotional lift for the Warriors, who snapped their 5-game losing skid: sfstandard.com/2026/03/16/j...

In a season from Hell, there are worse ways to spend time than letting the junior Warriors get some pressure reps in. They need to grow up, one way or another. Growing pains are inevitable. But we’re seeing it, loss by loss. sfstandard.com/2026/03/16/b...

Steph Curry is out at least five more games. That means De'Anthony Melton will have to keep stepping up as a playmaker. He's built for it. Whether the league recognizes it or not. New @sfstandard.com: sfstandard.com/2026/03/12/d...

The Warriors aren’t tanking. I promise! But the back-to-back from hell is definitely a pull up Tankathon moment sfstandard.com/2026/03/11/w...

Draymond Green’s newest assignment? Perimeter stopper. sfstandard.com/2026/03/08/d...

On Steve Kerr, who, turns out, can actually coach a little sfstandard.com/2026/03/06/s...

“I think I’m going to catch him.” Just how unbreakable are Steph Curry’s most sacred 3-point records? Talked to Curry, Anthony Edwards, and Kon Knueppel about what’s shaping up to be a chase to watch for years to come. New @sfstandard.com: sfstandard.com/2026/03/05/s...

He’s been waived four times. A Rochester kid in Napa. His G League coach thinks he’s a “dog.” It was a blessing, not a burden, to play 4 games in as many days. Get ready to learn Nate Williams, whose viral moment last night could be a beginning, not a blip: sfstandard.com/2026/03/03/n...

Steph Curry out at least five more games. Kristaps Porzingis to miss his fifth straight game with an illness. Not how the Warriors drew up their playoff push. sfstandard.com/2026/03/01/k...

"He's become one of our most important players." Breaking down the Warriors inking Gui Santos to a multi-year contract extension @sfstandard.com: sfstandard.com/2026/02/28/g...

Warriors’ win in Memphis last night helps them stay afloat as they wait for Steph Curry’s return. It won’t be a one-off, but that might say more about their remaining opponents than them… sfstandard.com/2026/02/26/w...

No Steph, no Draymond, no Jimmy, no Porzingis. Decimated Warriors take it to the Nuggets at home. Unlikeliest win of the season. sfstandard.com/2026/02/22/b...

No, of course the Warriors aren’t going to tank out the rest of the season. Column: sfstandard.com/2026/02/21/s...

Warriors return to action tonight, but Steph Curry won’t be on the court with them. Curry’s knee injury, and more: sfstandard.com/2026/02/19/s...

Macklin Celebrini's Olympics experience is underway. Some of the precocious Canadian's biggest fans are at 1 Warriors Way, and they'll be watching. “He works his butt off — I know he has no choice with his last name being Celebrini," Steph Curry told me. sfstandard.com/2026/02/12/m...

Talking ball with the boss @KO_Crowley open.spotify.com/episode/0516...

Warriors don't have the horses right now. The trade deadline took a lot out of them emotionally. They're eager to see what Porzingis will look like. Even with a win over the tanktastic Grizzlies, GSW looks like a team that can use the All-Star reset: sfstandard.com/2026/02/10/g...

Post-deadline Warriors cap overview, a future draft pick clarification, and a half-baked theory of enshittification: sfstandard.com/2026/02/07/w...

For the Warriors who made it through yesterday’s nerve-wracking deadline, it was relief. Then rejoice. Then, at least for Draymond Green, a hint of rebel after a big win. sfstandard.com/2026/02/06/w...

New @sfstandard.com: The Jonathan Kuminga Era is over. The final chapter unfolded much like the previous ones — with tantalizing flashes, injuries, noise, true affinity from his teammates, and organizational disconnect. sfstandard.com/2026/02/05/j...

Don't hate the Kristaps Porzingis deal. You get what you can get for Jonathan Kuminga. But, at least for the rest of this season, the Warriors are in their nihilism era. Live @sfstandard: sfstandard.com/2026/02/04/j...

League sources confirm ESPN reports: Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta for Kristaps Porzingis. Trayce Jackson-Davis to Toronto. The moves open up a roster spot for Pat Spencer, who was on a two-way deal.

Fairytale endings are rare in the NBA. So how would Steph Curry like his final chapter to play out? Spoke at length with Steph, as well as KD, Dirk and Steve Kerr. My latest, at The Ringer:

Minnesota fighting for inside position. Jaren Jackson Jr. off the board. Kings got their hypothetical two-way forward. Scary hours. sfstandard.com/2026/02/03/g...

Six days until the Feb. 5 trade deadline, and the Warriors can feel it. “Nobody’s above the program.” “If I’m traded, that’s part of the business.” “This feels like last year.”  sfstandard.com/2026/01/31/g...

Jimmy Butler hobbled around on crutches yesterday in SF, at his afternoon BIGFACE pop-up, then at a Bacardi dominoes event at night. He has yet to undergo ACL reconstruction surgery. That's when the tough part starts. On what Butler's facing, plus a surprising comp: sfstandard.com/2026/01/30/j...

It’s been an intense few days in Minneapolis and beyond. Reporter Danny Emerman reflects on covering the Warriors–Timberwolves game amid a city in mourning, and how the tragedy demanded that basketball take a back seat to the reality on the ground. Listen to the full episode: bit.ly/3LBk64I
