2022–23 Golden State Warriors season

The 2022–23 Golden State Warriors season was the 77th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 61st in the San Francisco Bay Area, their fourth season at the Chase Center, 9th season with Steve Kerr as a head coach and their 12th and final season with Bob Myers as a general manager. The Warriors entered the season as defending champions after winning the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics during the previous season for their fourth championship in eight years and seventh overall.

During a team practice on October 5, 2022, Jordan Poole and teammate Draymond Green got into an altercation, resulting in Green striking Poole with a punch. 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. On October 12, the team fined Green for the altercation as opposed to the suspected suspension.

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 the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, they eliminated the third-seeded Sacramento Kings in seven games. However, they then lost to the seventh-seeded Los Angeles Lakers in six games in the conference semifinals, losing the conference semifinals for the first time since the 2013 NBA playoffs to the San Antonio Spurs. This team also lost in the playoffs before the Finals for the first time since 2014, and marking their first playoff series loss against a Western Conference opponent under head coach Steve Kerr.
