Quick NBA Today hit on Steph Curry, the Warriors and a schedule that includes 15 back-to-backs again https://t.co/lsbRup Via @anthonyVslater on X

What happened: Four of those sets fall within the first 16 games, with six scheduled before the end of 2026. Golden State opens the regular season on the road Oct. 21.

Why it matters: The workload sits above the league average, though no club has more than 16 back-to-backs. Early clusters could complicate rest and lineup management.

By the numbers: Golden State has 28 national games, eight back-to-backs by the season's midpoint and six after the All-Star break.

What to watch: Preseason opens Oct. 6, offering the first look at how Golden State plans to manage the early schedule density.
