The Golden State Warriors have filled their toolchest with weapons for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

After signing Jonathan Kuminga, Al Horford, and Seth Curry, the Warriors have a roster designed to make the most out of the twilight of Steph Curry’s career.<\/p>\n

But with all the depth on the team how will Steve Kerr handle the starting lineup? Here’s what it might look like on opening night.<\/p>\n

Warriors 2025-26 Starting Lineup<\/h2>\n

Golden State could have one of the oldest lineups in the NBA this season. Here’s the projected starters and their respective ages.<\/p>\n

PG:\u00a0<\/strong>Steph Curry (37 years old)<\/p>\n

SG:\u00a0<\/strong>Buddy Hield (32 years old)<\/p>\n

SF:\u00a0<\/strong>Jimmy Butler (36 years old)<\/p>\n

PF:\u00a0<\/strong>Draymond Green (35 years old)<\/p>\n

C:\u00a0<\/strong>Al Horford (39 years old)<\/p>\n

After the Warriors signed Jonathan Kuminga to a 2-year, $48 million deal many could expect him to start. But fans will recall he struggled to see meaningful minutes last season with Jimmy Butler taking his minutes.<\/p>\n

Kuminga will likely be one of the first off the bench along with Brandon Podziemski.<\/p>\n

The average age of this Warriors starting five is 35.8 years old which would make them the oldest starting lineup in NBA history.<\/p>\n

Kerr and the coaching staff will need to lean on young players off the bench to provide a spark and step in when injury inevitably strikes.<\/p>\n

That’s why the Kuminga signing was so important for the present and the future.<\/p>\n

Now it’s just up to Golden State to prove they can contend with this veteran group.<\/p>\n
