Warriors lock up guard Brandin Podziemski with five-year, $110 million extension

Golden State finalized a five-year, $110 million contract extension with guard Brandin Podziemski, reinforcing its commitment to its young talent. Podziemski promptly shared a graphic on his Instagram Story, captioning it with a short message. Drafted 19th overall in 2023, he appeared in every regular-season game last year, posting 13.8 points per game while logging 28.5 minutes on average.

The Warriors had earlier secured a two-year, $116 million extension for Steph Curry, aiming to keep its core intact. Management views Podziemski as a growing piece of the roster who must evolve into a top offensive option for the team to contend in the Western Conference. The extension signals the franchise’s intent to build around both veteran and emerging players.
