Warriors Kick Off Season Against Trail Blazers Amid Klay Thompson's Absence

The Golden State Warriors are set to open their season on October 23, 2024, against the Portland Trail Blazers, showcasing significant changes in their roster. With Klay Thompson absent, the team aims to leverage its depth to maintain competitiveness. New additions, including a sixth man expected to score during Stephen Curry's rests, will be pivotal. The organization is hopeful that Andrew Wiggins can return to form after a challenging period, as he is vital to the team's success. The Warriors' management also chose not to trade promising players for big stars, believing in their current roster's potential. As the Western Conference remains highly competitive, the Warriors must demonstrate they can be legitimate contenders.
