The2022–23 Golden State Warriors season was the 77th season of the franchise in theNational Basketball Association (NBA), their 61st in theSan Francisco Bay Area, their fourth season at theChase Center, 9th season withSteve Kerr as ahead coach and their 12th and final season withBob Myers as a general manager. The Warriors entered the season as defending champions after winning the2022 NBA Finals against theBoston Celtics during theprevious season for their fourth championship in eight years and seventh overall.
During a team practice on October 5, 2022, teammatesJordan Poole andDraymond Green got into an altercation, resulting in Green striking Poole with a punch.[1]TMZ published a leaked video on October 7, showing the punch but not what led to the incident. On October 9, Green publicly apologized for the incident and announced that he would spend a few days away from the team.[2] On October 12, the team fined Green for the altercation as opposed to the suspected suspension.[3]
With this drama lingering over the team, the Warriors struggled for much of the season, having one of the worst records on the road while also having one of the best at home. They finished with a winning record for the tenth time in the previous eleven seasons, and clinched the sixth seed in theplayoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, they eliminated the third-seededSacramento Kings in seven games. However, they then lost to the seventh-seededLos Angeles Lakers in six games in the conference semifinals, losing the conference semifinals for the first time since the2013 NBA playoffs to theSan Antonio Spurs. This team also lost in the playoffs before the Finals for the first time since2014, and marking their first playoff series loss against a Western Conference opponent under head coach Steve Kerr.
