The Warriors open their 2022-23 season with a matchup against the Lakers and a familiar foe in LeBron James.
With that comes some jewelry.
Having defeated Boston in the 2022 NBA Finals, Golden State will receive its championship rings and add another banner to the rafters of the Chase Center.
The festivities will get underway before what should be an entertaining game between two teams hoping to be in the title race this season. Plus, every matchup between Stephen Curry and James from here on out should be cherished.
Here's everything you need to know about Golden State's opening-night matchup with Los Angeles.

How many championships have the Warriors won?
This will be the seventh championship banner hanging from the rafters in the Chase Center. Only the Celtics and Lakers (17 each) have more.
This is the fourth ring in eight years for the Warriors who began their current run of dominance in 2014-15. After losing in the NBA Finals in 2016, they recovered to win back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018. They nearly won again in 2019 before ultimately succumbing to injuries, falling in six games to the Toronto Raptors.
Prior to the championship in 2015, the Warriors hadn't won since all the way back in 1975 when Rick Barry led the team to its first championship in the Bay Area. The first two Warriors championships came when the franchise was still in Philadelphia (1956 and 1947).
