• Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Notches 17 points in loss

  7H ago • By RotoWire

  Podziemski (back) chipped in 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 104-93 victory over the Bucks. With Stephen Curry (rest) sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, Podziemski stepped into the starting five in his return from a five-game absence due to a bilateral low-back strain. Podziemski faced no limitations in his return and continued his run of encouraging performances that dated back to before he missed time with the injury. Over his last 10 appearances, Podziemski is now averaging 13.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes, but it's unclear if he'll be able to maintain that level of playing time moving forward. In addition to getting Curry back as soon as Thursday versus the Raptors, the Warriors recently welcomed Jonathan Kuminga back from an extended absence, which will result in some of Golden State's supporting players sacrificing minutes now that the squad is at full strength.

  21H ago • By RotoWire

  Podziemski (back) is available and in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. However, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com, he will be limited to around 25 minutes of action. Podziesmki has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Golden State's last five games due to a lower back strain. With Stephen Curry (rest) out, Podziemski will make his 20th starting appearance of the season. Across those previous 19 outings, the 22-year-old guard has averaged 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 30.5 minutes.

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Podziemski (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks. Podziemski has missed the club's last five outings due to a lower back strain, and if he's cleared to suit up Tuesday, he'll likely face restrictions. Over his last five outings before sustaining the injury in a win over Brooklyn on March 6, the 22-year-old combo guard had averaged 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers across 29.2 minutes per game.

• Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Out two more games

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said prior to Saturday's game against the Knicks that Podziemski (back) is "progressing well" and will remain out through Monday's contest versus the Nuggets before potentially returning to action Tuesday versus the Bucks, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Podziemski will miss his fourth and fifth straight games Saturday and Monday while he recovers from a bilateral low back strain, but the second-year guard looks to be closing in on a return to the court. The 22-year-old had started in each of his last nine appearances prior to getting hurt, but Podziemski could end up filling a bench role upon his return while the Warriors have gotten quality play from Moses Moody on the top unit.

  Podziemski (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Knicks. Podziemski will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a back strain. He has yet to return to practice, so he faces an uphill battle to return Monday against the Nuggets. Gary Payton and Buddy Hield should continue to see increased roles and minutes due to Podziemski's absence.
