"We're not giving in. But you have to be realistic organizationally about where you are," Kerr told The Athletic on Monday.

The Warriors have officially fallen out of a play-in tournament spot, just seven weeks after they were last ranked first in the conference. Golden State's collapse has been extraordinary, especially for a team led by Steph Curry, one of the greatest to ever play.

Curry was the Finals MVP in 2022, and is still one of the NBA's best players in 2025. Averaging 22.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 31 games this season, Curry is one of just eight players in the league posting those numbers.
