The 2018–19 Golden State Warriors season was the 73rd season of the franchise in the
1966.[a] The Warriors playoff run was riddled with injuries, with DeMarcus Cousins (quadricep tear in the first round), Stephen Curry (dislocated finger in the semi-finals), Kevin Durant (calf strain in the semi-finals, ruptured achilles in the finals), Andre Iguodala (calf strain in the Western Conference finals), Klay Thompson (hamstring strain and a torn ACL in the finals), and Kevon Looney (fractured collar bone in the finals) all missing a combined total of 26 games.[4][5][6][7]
Thompson broke the NBA record for
MVP of the game, the fourth time a Warrior player has won the award and first since 1967.[2] Curry and Durant were named to the All-NBA Team. Green and Thompson were named to All-Defensive Team, it was Green's fifth consecutive selection which tied Nate Thurmond for the most selections in franchise history. With the addition of free agent DeMarcus Cousins in the off-season, the Warriors had five All-Stars on their roster that were named to the 2018 All-Star Game.[10] This is the sixth time in NBA history a team has had five All-Stars from the previous season, and the first since the Boston Celtics in 1976.[11] From November 15 to 21, the Warriors lost four games in a row for the first time since the 2012–13 season, and for the first time under the tenure of Steve Kerr
.
Following the season, Durant signed with the Brooklyn Nets as a free agent,[12] Iguodala was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, Cousins signed with the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent, and Shaun Livingston retired.
