This season Stephen Curry became the franchise's all-time scoring leader when he broke Wilt Chamberlain's record of 17,783 points that stood for 57 years.^[1][2] Curry moved into second on the all-time career three-point scoring list with 2,832, 141 behind the record holder Ray Allen.^[3] Curry was the league Scoring Champion for the second time in his career, averaging 32 points per game. Curry was named to the All-NBA First Team, his seventh selection to an All-NBA Team, a Warriors franchise record. Draymond Green was named to the All-Defensive First Team for the fourth time in his career, and sixth All-NBA Team overall.

After a one-year absence from postseason, the Warriors qualified for the first stage of the new Play-in Tournament as the No. 8 seed. As such, the Warriors had the double chance to advance. However, in the seventh seed game, they lost to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, 100–103, dropping to the elimination round of the play-in against Memphis Grizzlies, which they lost, 112–117 in overtime. The Warriors would not miss the playoffs again until 2024 when they lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in.

The Warriors finished the 2019–20 season 15–50 to finish in last place in the Western Conference having the worst record in the Conference.

Preseason

The Warriors entered the season with a chance to come back into championship contention after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2012. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the 2019–20 NBA season to be temporarily suspended, the Warriors had not played a game since March 2020.

On November 17, 2020, the NBA announced the 2020–21 season would begin on December 22, 2020.

The Warriors started the season with a healthy Stephen Curry, as he previously injured his second metacarpal bone in his left finger against the Phoenix Suns at Chase Center on October 30, 2019, causing him to miss 60 of the 65 games available and playing in 5 of those respective games. The Warriors also expect to have a healthy Kevon Looney, who was struggling with neuropathy for most of the season, as he only played 20 games. Klay Thompson was also expected to be healthy this season, but on November 19, 2020, it was announced that he would miss the entire season due to injuring his right Achilles tendon.^[4] Thompson hadn't played in an NBA game since Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals. After sitting out for two consecutive seasons, he finally made his return on January 9, 2022, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, recording 17 points and 3 rebounds in a 96–82 win.^[5]

As a result of being the worst team in the league, the Warriors were in the NBA draft lottery and they received the second overall selection. With that selection, the Warriors drafted Memphis center James Wiseman.^[6] They also selected point guard Nico Mannion with the 48th pick and shooting guard Justinian Jessup with the 51st pick.^[7]

Draft

Round	Pick	Player	Position	Nationality	School / club team
1	2	James Wiseman	C	United States	Memphis (Fr.)
2	48	Nico Mannion	PG	Italy	Arizona (Fr.)
2	51	Justinian Jessup	SG	United States	Boise State (Sr.)

Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft period, the Warriors' selection was held stuck as the #1 selection of the draft with their record being the worst of all NBA teams the prior season at 15–50 before the NBA suspended their season on March 12, 2020, and cancelled the rest of Golden State's season by June 5.^[8] As a result, they held the best odds to stay at #1 alongside the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2020 draft, though also holding the highest odds to fall as low as the #5 pick with 47.9% odds of dropping there. The Warriors ended the 2020 NBA draft lottery with the #2 selection, dropping down one spot with the Timberwolves moving up to the #1 position. In addition to their first-round pick, the Warriors also gained two second-round picks from previous trades involving the Dallas Mavericks.
