Brandin Podziemski News, Rumors, Updates - Golden State Warriors

Good to go versus Wizards Podziemski (back) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Podziemski suffered a back injury Tuesday against the Celtics and was in obvious pain, so it's a relief to see that he's able to play in this one. His workload will be even more secure too, as the Warriors will be without Andrew Wiggins (illness). The rookie guard is averaging 10.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in eight December games.

Questionable for Friday Podziemski is questionable for Friday's game against Washington due to low back soreness.

Impact Podziemski sustained a back injury during Tuesday's game against the Celtics, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Friday. If he's sidelined against Washington, Moses Moody and Andrew Wiggins are candidates to see increased roles.

Out for remainder of game Podziemski won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Celtics due to a lower back strain, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports. The rookie guard will finish with the contest five poin...

Impact Podziemski exited Tuesday's game versus the Celtics with 0:56 remaining in the second quarter after absorbing a hard hit on a boxout. Andrew Wiggins and Moses Moody are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Podziemski's status for Friday's matchup with Washington is uncertain.

Strong two-effort in win Podziemski provided 19 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Podziemski rewarded anyone who showed patience, scoring double-digits for the fifth time in the past seven games, adding at least three steals for the second straight contest. Having moved into the starting lineup, it appears as though Podziemski is going to feature prominently moving forward. He has played at least 29 minutes in three straight games and based on what know right now, he should be considered a must-roster player.

Will start against Clippers Podziemski will move into the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Warriors are shaking things up after a slow start to the season. Podziemski will replace Andrew Wiggins in the starting unit, while Jonathan Kuminga will move into the first unit in place of the suspended Draymond Green. Through four December games, Podziemski averaged 11.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes.

Explodes tor first double-double Podziemski racked up 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 loss to the Suns.

Impact Podziemski has enjoyed a usage increase over the past couple of weeks, and the rookie converted the first double-double of his career in only 29 minutes. The Santa Clara product is buried on the depth chart behind some big names, but consistent production off the bench is sorely needed. His fantasy stock will be on the rise in weeks to come.

Plays well in 37 minutes Podziemski chipped in 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 113-112 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Podziemski and Moses Moody gave the Warriors a huge lift down the stretch of this game, and coach Steve Kerr was raving about both players in the post-game conference. The Warriors could get Chris Paul (leg) and Andrew Wiggins (finger) back before their next game on Wednesday, but Podziemski has made a strong case for more minutes. In his last two appearances, Podziemski has averaged 12.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 31 minutes Podziemski provided 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Thursday's 120-114 win over the Clippers.

Impact With Chris Paul (lower leg), Andrew Wiggins (finger) and Gary Payton (calf) all sidelined, Podziemski played 30-plus minutes for the season time in his career. When given extended playing time, the rookie has yet to disappoint, averaging 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists when playing at least 23 minutes this season (six times). If the aforementioned trio remains out, Podziemski should continue to handle sizable usage as the leader of the second unit.

Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski play key role in Warriors' win over Clippers Because of injuries, the third-year forward and the rookie were pressed into service late. And they came up huge for Golden State.

Tallies three steals Podziemski logged 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 123-115 loss to the Suns.

Impact Podziemski was held to single-digit scoring totals in his last two appearances, but he saw a slightly larger workload Wednesday after Chris Paul was ejected. Podziemski began the season on the fringes of the Warriors' rotation but has earned more playing time recently, averaging 11.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 26.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Takes hold of rotation spot Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said after Tuesday's 104-101 loss to the Timberwolves that Podziemski will be part of the team's rotation moving forward, Anthony Slater of The Athle...

Impact The rookie first-round pick out of Santa Clara saw action in just five of the Warriors' first 11 games -- mostly in garbage-time scenarios -- but he was pressed into action Tuesday after Stephen Curry (knee) was ruled out ahead of the contest. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were then ejected for fighting less than two minutes into the game, thrusting Podziemski into an even larger role than anticipated heading into the night. The 20-year-old looked plenty composed in his first extended NBA action, logging a team-high 39 minutes en route to finishing with 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal. In the longer term, Podziemski likely won't play anywhere close to 39 minutes or maintain the 23.4 percent usage rate he held Tuesday in games where Curry, Thompson and Green are available, but the rookie's big night at least seems to have earned him a spot on Kerr's second unit. In the shorter term, Podziemski could push for a more sizable role out of the backcourt in Thursday's game against the Thunder if Curry remains sidelined and/or if Thompson is suspended for the contest.

Steps in off bench as top scorer Podziemski accumulated 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 104-101 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Podziemski earned extended playing time after the ejection of Draymond Green and Klay Thompson early in the game, going on to lead all Warriors in scoring and assists while finishing second on the team in rebounds in the defeat. Podziemski set season-high marks in scoring, assists and minutes played while finishing with his second game with seven or more boards this season.

Surprise! Brandin Podziemski might be exactly what the Warriors need Steve Kerr on Podziemski: "He's always in the right spot. He's fearless. And he connects the game. He plays the way we want to play."

Back with parent club Golden State recalled Podziemski from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Saturday.

Impact Podziemski was productive during Santa Cruz's season opener Friday, posting 24 points, seven rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes. He's averaging just 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game with the parent club this year.

Not starting against Kings Podziemski is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Podziemski has appeared in three games for the Warriors during the preseason, and his best effort came when he posted 10 points and 10 assists against the Lakers on Oct. 13. He will come off the bench here since the Warriors will start Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcocurt.

Brandin Podziemski FIRST NBA Double-Double vs Lakers | Oct. 13, 2023

OCTOBER 14, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Racks up 10 dimes in preseason win Podziemski contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, six rebounds and a blocked shot over 26 minutes against the Lakers in a 129-125 exhibition win Friday.

Impact Podziemski struggled from beyond the arc, but that was really the only negative aspect of his performance. The 19th overall pick in the 2023 Draft has looked great over his first two preseason NBA contests, averaging 10.5 points, 7.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds while shooting 47.4 percent from the field. Podziemski may be helping his playing-time outlook with his performance thus far, though it's still hard to see him getting enough minutes to be a viable fantasy asset given the depth of Golden State's backcourt.
