Steph Curry is a few months away from beginning his 17th 82-game NBA gauntlet, and the 37-year-old Warriors star has a routine when the league unveils the schedule.
“You take a good amount of time just seeing the flow of the whole year,” Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson on Friday at the ninth annual “Curry Camp” in Menlo Park. “I mean, there are certain cities I love to go to. You look at New York. You look at Charlotte for me. Toronto. Mostly where family is and you try to know when you’re going to have some planning to know when you’re going to be there. Long road trips. That type of stuff. But you don’t get too deep into it.”
The NBA released the full 2025-26 NBA schedule on Thursday, and it will be a grind for Curry and the Warriors.
Golden State has 15 back-to-backs, including a staggering five within the first 17 games of the 2025-26 NBA season. It also features two six-game road trips, one in November and the other in March, which includes one of Curry’s circled matchups.
The Warriors open that late-season trip against the New York Knicks on March 15 at Madison Square Garden.
Curry actually will kill three birds with one stone at the end of December, when the Warriors go on a three-game road trip to Toronto, Brooklyn and Charlotte.
The four-time NBA champion gets to ring in 2026 in his hometown, as the game against the Hornets at Spectrum Center is at 10 a.m. PT on Dec. 31.
But the difficulty of the Warriors’ schedule isn’t lost on Curry.
“Very interesting and different schedule than what we’re used to, just from the patterns of what I’ve noticed over the last 16 years,” Curry told Johnson. “But everybody’s got to play 82 and we hope to be able to get through it.”
Curry and the Warriors tip off the new season against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Oct. 21 at Crypto.com Arena.
