Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He has sustained a left abdominal contusion, but this likely won't keep Podziemski off the court. The 22-year-old has had his most consistent stretch of the season lately, finishing with double-digit points in five consecutive games. He has averaged 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists during that stretch, logging nearly 30 minutes per game despite coming off the bench.

On Thursday, the Golden State Warriors announced that they have exercised the fourth-year team option on guard Brandin Podziemski's contract. The move secures the 22-year-old's place on the roster through the 2026-27 campaign. Podziemski has averaged 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in 29.6 minutes per game across five contests so far this season. After showing steady improvement over his first two NBA campaigns, he projects as a reliable fantasy contributor in year three and beyond.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski posted a solid outing against the Los Angeles Lakers in Sunday's preseason game. Entering his third year, the former 19th-overall pick is looking to step up his game yet again. In Sunday's exhibition game, he finished with 23 points, eight assists, five rebounds, and one steal while shooting 10-for-16 from the floor and 3-for-7 from beyond the arc. While he likely won't carry a heavy workload every night this season, Podziemski is a big part of their future while he learns from Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III. Through two seasons, he's averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 turnovers across 26.7 minutes per contest. As of right now, he'll likely be a solid, later-round pickup in category leagues.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (wrist) has undergone his second offseason surgery. After having left wrist debridement surgery on May 27, Podziemski had a procedure on June 10 to repair a core muscle injury.

This season, Podziemski averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals in 26.8 minutes, starting 33 of 64 contests.

He will look to take another step forward in 2025-26, having averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals this campaign.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski will start in Sunday's postseason meeting with the Rockets. Gary Payton II (illness) was ruled out, so head coach Steve Kerr made the call to move Podziemski back into the starting lineup. He logged 29 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to Houston, finishing with 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and one steal. However, those marks fall in line with what Podziemski has averaged throughout the series, meaning the move back to the starting lineup won't increase or decrease his DFS ceiling.

He nailed two triples early on and provided efficient scoring throughout the night, finishing 9-for-18 from the field. In 40 minutes of action, Podziemski also had five rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block.

He has averaged 16.7 points in the three games he has played while healthy.

He was upgraded from questionable to available shortly before the game started, but Podziemski logged only 14 minutes of playing time, going 0-for-5 from the field.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (back) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Podiemski is back in the mix after missing each of the last five games due to a lingering back issue. His return will come at a good time with Stephen Curry (rest) heading to the bench on Tuesday night. Podziemski has been playing better in the second half this season with 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game over his last 19 contests. Fantasy managers should consider Podziemski a fairly decent streaming option with Curry sidelined on Tuesday.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Saturday that Tuesday's matchup is "the target" for Podziemski's return.

His next chance to play will be against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. In the meantime, Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield figure to see increased run in the rotation. Hield dropped on dud on Thursday, but is the more appealing streaming choice between the two players.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (abdominal) does not have a clear timeline to return yet, but he's starting on his way back. According to coach Steve Kerr, Podziemski got "a run" in on Monday and felt fine.

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (abdominal) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Podziemski suffered an abdominal injury during the second quarter of Saturday's game. As a result, Podziemski will sit out on Monday, but the MRI came back clean, so he isn't expected to miss significant time. The loss of Podziemski should mean more minutes for Buddy Hield in the rotation. Hield has been on a cold streak lately, so he's not a recommended fantasy option. The Warriors have three more games after Monday this week, so hopefully Podziemski can suit up in some of them.
