Steph Curry and the Warriors’ road to the 2025 NBA Cup knockout rounds begins Friday, Nov. 7, with a Group C matchup against Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets in Denver and concludes Wednesday, Nov. 26, against Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets at Chase Center in San Francisco.
In between those two games, Golden State will play the Spurs on Friday, Nov. 14, in San Antonio and host the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday, Nov. 21.
The NBA released the full NBA Cup schedule on Wednesday, a month after revealing the six five-team groups.
If the Warriors advance out of the group stage, they head to the knockout rounds. The Western and Eastern Conference quarterfinals take place on Dec. 9 and 10, while the conference semifinals will be held on Dec. 13.
Should the Warriors survive the single-elimination knockout stage, they will play in the NBA Cup championship game on Dec. 16.
The Warriors made it to the knockout stage last season, winning Group C with a 3-1 record. But they lost 91-90 to the Rockets in the quarterfinals. Houston would go on to lose to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinal.
Golden State got its revenge in April by taking down Houston in a thrilling seven-game first-round NBA playoff series.
