The 2021–22 Golden State Warriors season is the 76th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), their 60th in the San Francisco Bay Area, and their third season at the Chase Center.

On December 14, Stephen Curry hit five three-pointers against the New York Knicks to reach 2,977, which surpassed Ray Allen's career total of 2,973 for most three-pointers made in NBA history in the regular season.[1] Earlier in the season against the Chicago Bulls, Curry hit nine three-pointers to reach 3,366 which broke Allen's record of 3,358 for most three-pointers made in NBA history, regular season and postseason combined.[2]

On January 9, Klay Thompson made his season debut against the Cleveland Cavaliers after missing the previous two seasons due to various injuries. He missed the 2019–20 season due to a left ACL tear, and the 2020–21 season due to a right Achilles tendon tear. He recorded 17 points and 3 rebounds in a 96–82 win.[3]
