NBA releases Golden State Warriors' 2025 NBA Cup schedule
With the new season slowly emerging on the horizon, we're starting to get the first glimpses of what the Golden State Warriors' schedule is going to look like. On Wednesday, August 13, we got another piece of the puzzle, as the schedule for the group stage was released. Golden State will be part of "West Group C," where they will face the San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets.
Golden State's opening game of the tournament will be on the road against the Nuggets on November 11. Another road matchup will follow, with the Warriors taking on the Spurs on November 14. Later in November, the Golden State will have two home games to close out the group stage. The first will come against the Trail Blazers on November 21, and the final game will be against the Rockets on November 26.
The Warriors made it to the quarter finals of the 2024 NBA Cup, losing to the Rockets 91-90. Steve Kerr's team finished top of "West Group C" with a 3-1 record, having beaten the Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Gizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans. The only loss came against the Denver Nuggets, who eventually finished third in the group with a 2-2 record.
Golden State is yet to make any new roster additions this summer. Nevertheless, Kerr's team will undoubtedly be ready to go once the season begins. It will likely be fired up to once again compete for the NBA Cup and embark on a deep tournament run, with a cash prize per player undoubtedly working as an ideal incentive.

Former Nuggets mascot sues team for discrimination, wrongful termination after hip injury
A former Denver Nuggets mascot is suing the team's owner, alleging a violation of Colorado disability protection laws after he was fired following a hip injury. The lawsuit, obtained by USA TODAY Sports, was filed Tuesday in Denver District Court. It states that 31-year-old Drake Solomon, who donned the Rocky mascot mountain lion suit for three years, wants unspecified damages from the team's owner, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. Solomon is suing on the basis of disability, retaliation and two claims of aiding and abetting unfair employment practices against his Kroenke Sports & Entertainment supervisors, who are also named defendants in the case. Solomon was hired to portray Rocky in 2021. His father, Kenn, was the original Rocky, starting in 1990 and serving in the role for more than 30 years. Solomon was diagnosed with avascular necrosis, the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply, during the 2022-23 NBA season, underwent surgery to treat his condition and was later told he would need a total hip replacement. According to the lawsuit, the team then informed Solomon it would hold tryouts for his position because of "his record of impairment and their lack of confidence in his health." Solomon says in the lawsuit that he returned from the hip replacement only to endure a 'hostile work environment' and that the tryouts for Rocky were being held because Solomon had 'burned them last time." Solomon, who began his career with the Nuggets in 2012 as a trampoline dunk artist and member of the 'Promo Squad, was fired, his says without cause, in August 2024. The lawsuit states the team later told Solomon he was being terminated because he failed to score first during tryouts. His termination violates his rights under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, the lawsuit alleges. A potential class-action lawsuit is also in play from the severance package Solomon was offered by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment when he was fired. Solomon says it is unlawful because the company presented other employees with the exact severance agreement. .

After spending almost a decade with the team, Joe Lacob's son, Kent Lacob, has made the decision to leave the Golden State Warriors.

Joe revealed what he said to his son when he told him that he was leaving. 'Well, that took some balls,' Joe said. The reasoning for Kent leaving had nothing to do with any issues within the family, according to Thompson.
