Warriors' Steph Curry's Latest Comments Turn Heads Before NBA Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Golden State Warriors and superstar point guard Stephen Curry are hoping to make a run at another championship during the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season. So far during the offseason, the Warriors have been very quiet. They have been unable to make any sizable additions as they navigate Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency situation. Despite not making moves yet, Golden State is rumored to have verbal agreements in place with veteran center Al Horford and wing De'Anthony Melton. If those two players do end up signing with the Warriors, the team will look to have a much better shot in the stacked Western Conference. Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors reacts in the second half against the Houston Rockets in Game Seven of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Toyota Center on May 04, 2025... Stephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors reacts in the second half against the Houston Rockets in Game Seven of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Toyota Center on May 04, 2025 in Houston, Texas. More Photo byCurry's presence alone will always keep Golden State on the map. He also has Jimmy Butler as his No. 2 star and Draymond Green is still in town. Read more: Lakers, Austin Reaves Receive Huge Future Update After struggling through much of the 2024-25 NBA season, the Warriors finally developed a winning identity after trading for Butler. That has given Curry hope for the upcoming campaign. With the 2025-26 season coming up quickly, Curry spoke out with a strong message about his team. "My confidence is built on the identity we were able to create over the last third of the regular season last year," Curry said. Truthfully, there is good reason to be confident about Golden State if the team plays the way it did following the Butler trade. Not only did the Warriors power their way into the playoffs, they also pulled off an upset over the No. 2-seeded Houston Rockets in the first round. In the second round, Golden State won Game 1 over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Unfortunately, Curry went down with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the rest of the series. The Warriors were quickly eliminated in five games. Read more: Celtics' Payton Pritchard Receives Major Career News Golden State will still be depending heavily on Curry this coming season. Last year, he continued playing at an elite level. He averaged 24.5 points per game to go along with six assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals, while shooting 44.8 percent from the floor and 39.7 percent from three-point range in 70 games. It will be interesting to see if the Warriors are able to get back to being a top-tier contender in the conference. Curry seems to have confident in his team's ability to do just that.

Detroit Red Wings make depth signing with veteran defenseman Travis Hamonic
The Detroit Red Wings added another defenseman to their depth, with a low-risk signing of a veteran. Travis Hamonic, a 34-year-old who shoots right, is in the books for one year at $1 million. Hamonic has 242 points in 900 NHL games, spread among the New York Islanders, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks and most recently, the Ottawa Senators. He's made his living as a defensive defenseman who blocks shots and serves in a shut-down role. Hamonic will be one more piece for coach Todd McLellan to fit into a crowded back-end lineup when the Wings head to training camp in mid-September in Traverse City. More: Detroit Red Wings announce dates for 2025 training camp: What to know for Traverse City Hamonic joins a corp that already features Moritz Seider, Justin Holl and Jacob Bernard-Docker (also a newcomer) down the right side, and left-shooters in Ben Chiarot, Simon Edvinsson, Albert Johansson and Erik Gustafsson. Hamonic could fit in on the third pairing, and help out killing penalties. Unlike in previous seasons, when the Wings began the season with three goaltenders on the 23-man roster, this year they have two (Cam Talbot and newcomer John Gibson) under contract. That could allow the Wings to carry eight defensemen and still have room for 13 forwards. That's all part of what will be sorted during the three-day camp in Traverse City, followed by the Red-White scrimmage in Grand Rapids on Sept. 21. They will then play an eight-game exhibition slate. This is McLellan's first camp with the Wings since being named coach on Dec. 26. Contact Helene St. James at hstjames@ Read more on the Detroit Red Wings and sign up for our Red Wings newsletter.

Red Wings Bolster Blue Line With Signing of Travis Hamonic
Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has already signed defensemen Jacob Bernard-Docker and Ian Mitchell so far this offseason, but another new name has been added to Detroit's blue line. The Red Wings announced they have signed defenseman Travis Hamonic, a veteran of 900 NHL games, to a one-year, $1 million contract. Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. It's another short-term, low-risk move for Yzerman, who also inked Bernard-Docker, Mitchell, and forward James van Riemsdyk to similar short-term deals. A native of St. Malo, Manitoba, Hamonic arrives in Detroit having played the last three and a half seasons with the Ottawa Senators. He was originally selected 53rd overall in the 2008 NHL Draft by the New York Islanders while playing for the WHL's Moose Jaw Warriors. Hamonic made his NHL debut with the Islanders in November 2010, and would later sign a seven-year, $27 million extension to remain with the club. However, he would eventually request a trade owing to a personal family situation. While he eventually rescinded the request, he would be traded to the Calgary Flames in June 2017. Following his first season in Calgary, they chose him as their nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy. Following three seasons with the Flames, Hamonic accepted a professional tryout with the Vancouver Canucks in 2021, which culminated in a one-year contract. Eventually, he would be re-signed to a two-year contract. After spending time with the Canucks along with their American Hockey League affiliate Abbotsford Canucks, Hamonic was traded to the Ottawa Senators in March 2022. After scoring six goals and 15 assists the following season, the Senators re-signed him to a two-year contract. Hamonic has scored 53 goals with 189 assists in 900 career regular season games, while adding a goal and three assists in 22 career playoff games.
