After a one-year absence from postseason, the Warriors qualified for the first stage of the new Play-in Tournament as the No. 8 seed. As such, the Warriors had the double chance to advance. However, in the seventh seed game, they lost to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, 100–103, dropping to the elimination round of the play-in against Memphis Grizzlies, which they lost, 112–117 in overtime. The Warriors would not miss the playoffs again until 2024 when they lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in.
