The2019–20 Golden State Warriors season was the 74th season of the franchise in theNational Basketball Association (NBA), and its 58th in theSan Francisco Bay Area. The Warriors entered the season as the five-time defending Western Conference champion and runners-up in the2019 NBA Finals, where they lost to theToronto Raptors in six games. The Warriors moved from theOracle Arena (now Oakland Arena) inOakland to the newChase Center inSan Francisco before the start of the season, the first time the team had played in the city since the1970–71 season.[1]
This season saw the departures ofKevin Durant andAndre Iguodala, and thus the break up of theHamptons Five. After considering signing with teams such as theNew York Knicks andLos Angeles Clippers, Durant left in asign-and-trade with theBrooklyn Nets, with the Golden State Warriors acquiringAll-Star guardD'Angelo Russell as part of the deal.[2] Iguodala was traded to theMemphis Grizzlies after six seasons with the Warriors, in which he won three championships and aFinals MVP. Russell would then be traded to theMinnesota Timberwolves for former #1 pickAndrew Wiggins at the trade deadline in February 2020.
Despite lofty expectations, the Warriors got off to a 4–16 start, their worst since the2000 season. Injuries were a major reason for the poor start. All-StarSGKlay Thompson missed the entire regular season with anACL tear he suffered during Game 6 of the2019 NBA Finals.[3]Stephen Curry was injured on October 30, 2019, which required surgery to repair his brokensecond metacarpal. Curry played in just five of the Warriors' 65 games.[4] Despite the injuries, the Warriors' had a bright spot in second-round draft pickEric Paschall who was named to theNBA All-Rookie First Team in 2020.
With their 33rd loss against theDallas Mavericks on January 14, 2020, the Warriors failed to reach 50 wins for the first time since2013. From the end of December to the middle of January, the team suffered a 10-game losing streak, the first time they have lost 10 games in a row since2002. They also suffered their first losing season since2012 following their 42nd loss to theMiami Heat. With their March 10 loss to the Clippers, the Warriors were eliminated from theplayoffs for the first time since2012 and did not make the NBA Finals for the first time since2014, ending five consecutive Finals appearances.
In response to mounting concerns over theCOVID-19 pandemic by public health officials, theseason was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[5] after it was reported that thenUtah Jazz centerRudy Gobert tested positive forCOVID-19.[6] This came after the Warriors announced that their game against theBrooklyn Nets the next day would be playedbehind closed doors. On June 4, 2020, it was announced that the NBA Board of Governors approved a plan that would restart the season with 22 teams returning to play in theNBA Bubble on July 31, 2020, which was approved by theNational Basketball Players Association (NBPA) the next day. The Warriors, with the Western Conference's (and the league's overall) worst record at the time of the season's suspension, were not among them, effectively ending the team's season. This was the first time the team had the worst season record in the league in franchise history.[7][8]
