Warriors Set Training Camp Schedule as Curry's Future Remains Uncertain

The Golden State Warriors finally have a starting line on the calendar for their next run at a title. They still don’t have a signature from the man who defines the franchise.

On Monday, the team confirmed it will open its 2026 training camp at BYU-Hawaii, returning to Oahu for a week of work before a six-game preseason slate that begins against the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 4. The announcement gives shape to the months ahead, but it also throws one unresolved issue into sharper focus: Stephen Curry’s extension.

Warriors set their route. Curry’s decision lingers.

Curry became eligible on Saturday for a two-year, $136.7 million maximum extension, a deal that would keep him under contract through the 2028-29 season. He’s 38 now, heading into the final year of his current agreement, worth $62.6 million.

The Warriors have made no secret of their intentions. General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. wants the extension done before the season tips. The organization is building everything — roster, culture, expectations — around the idea that Curry finishes his career in blue and gold.

Curry’s words match that vision, even if his pen has yet to.

“There’s no question I want to be here the rest of my career, and I’m pretty sure that’s going to happen,” he told NBC Sports Bay Area.

No trade demands. No cryptic social media posts. Just quiet confidence. But also, a wait.

“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,” Curry said.

So the franchise icon is calm. The front office is eager. The clock, though, has started.

Back to the islands

The Warriors will land in Hawaii on Sept. 29, setting up camp at BYU-Hawaii through Oct. 3 before facing the Clippers the next day at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

This is not a one-off detour. It will be Golden State’s second training camp on Oahu in three years and its sixth overall at BYU-Hawaii, after previous visits in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2024. For a team that has built its dynasty on routine and rhythm, the islands have become a familiar preseason backdrop.

From there, the work shifts back to the mainland.

Golden State returns to Chase Center to face the Lakers on Oct. 6, travels to Portland on Oct. 7, then hosts Sacramento on Oct. 10. Another matchup with the Lakers awaits on Oct. 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, before the preseason closes at Chase Center against Portland on Oct. 16.

By that point, the Warriors would prefer their biggest question to be answered. The schedule is locked in. The travel is set. The only uncertainty hovers over the player whose presence has defined an era.

Familiar faces, fragile health

The roster Curry references as “familiar” will not be fully intact when camp opens.

Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody are both working back from significant knee injuries and are expected to miss the start of the season, a sobering reality for a team that just lived through the cost of bad health. Golden State stumbled to a 37-45 record last season, its playoff hopes undermined by injuries and inconsistency. Curry suited up for only 43 games, and every missed night sharpened the reminder: availability might matter as much as any summer move.

The Warriors chose continuity over upheaval. They retained Draymond Green, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, Gary Payton II and De’Anthony Melton, keeping the core structure of their rotation intact. They also moved to refresh the supporting cast, bringing in Georges Niang, Brandon Williams and lottery pick Yaxel Lendeborg.

It’s not a teardown. It’s a recalibration around the same central star.

Training camp opens Sept. 29. The preseason begins five days later. The chase resumes in earnest.

And somewhere between Hawaii’s beaches and the first roar at Chase Center, one date still hangs over everything: the day Stephen Curry finally commits his future to paper — or leaves the Warriors holding their breath a little longer.
