Stephen Curry's teammate Brandin Podziemski gets latest injury update. Image via: Lachlan Cunningham/ GettyImages The Golden State Warriors have recently confirmed that Stephen Curry's teammate, Brandin Podziemski, underwent successful surgery on his left wrist. The team announced that the 22-year-old had a debridement procedure in Los Angeles this week. He is expected to fully recover and return in time for training camp. The surgery, done on Podziemski's shooting hand, may offer clarity on his post-season shooting slump with the Warriors. Brandin Podziemski had successful surgery on his left wrist Brandin Podziemski quietly played through significant discomfort during the Golden State Warriors' postseason run. According to the Warriors' official release, the young guard had successful left wrist debridement surgery and is on track to be ready for the 2025-26 season. 'Brandin Podziemski underwent successful left wrist debridement surgery yesterday in Los Angeles. He is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for the start of training camp,' the Warriors wrote on X. Orthopedic specialist Dr. Nirav Pandya explained on social media that wrist debridement involves the removal of inflamed or scar tissue within the joint, helping to improve mobility and healing. The timing of this surgery now raises questions about Podziemski's playoff performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo After shooting a solid 44.5% from the field and 37.2% from three during the regular season, his postseason numbers dropped to 36.4% overall and 32.8% from deep. The shooting dip became more noticeable in the Western Conference Semifinals against Minnesota, where he converted just 9 of 40 shots (22.5%) through the first four games. Despite the struggles, Podziemski still had moments of brilliance, most notably a 28-point performance against Houston in Game 4 of the first round and another 28-point effort in the season-ending loss to the Timberwolves. But the pain may have affected his consistency. In his own words, after his Game 4 outburst, Podziemski reflected on his mindset: "First, you got to tell yourself you belong in the moment. Good and great players want to be in the moment, thrive in the moment, don't back down from it." "Everything I do, I'm never going to have a regretful decision. I'm just going to go out there and know and tell myself I belong, because I do." The Warriors rode a strong finish into the playoffs, with Podziemski part of a revamped starting lineup that included Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Moses Moody, and Jimmy Butler. That unit helped the team finish 48-34, eventually defeating the Rockets in seven games before bowing out to Minnesota.

Warriors' guard Brandin Podziemski undergoes surgery on his left wrist
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski, whose re-emergence in the season's second half helped the Warriors reach the playoffs, had surgery on his left wrist this week, the team announced Wednesday. Podziemski underwent 'successful left wrist debridement surgery' Tuesday in Los Angeles, according to Golden State's news release. He's expected to make a full recovery, the team said, and should be ready for the start of training camp this fall. Worth noting: Podziemski is left-handed, so that's his shooting wrist. He became the second young Warriors player to require postseason surgery. Moses Moody had surgery last week to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb. Moody also is expected to recover ahead of training camp. Podziemski, 22, bounced back from a slow start to his second NBA season, playing well after returning from an abdominal strain in late January. He averaged 11.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in the regular season, over 64 games (including 33 starts). In the playoffs, Podziemski made 11 starts in 12 games, averaging 11.3 points and 5.0 rebounds. He struggled mightily with his shooting during the first four games of the Western Conference semifinals against Minnesota, making only 9 of 40 attempts (22.5%) from the field. Podziemski then went 11-for-19, and scored a team-high 28 points, in the Warriors' season-ending loss to the Timberwolves on May 14. The Warriors surged into the postseason picture after settling on a starting lineup featuring Podziemski and Moody alongside Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and trade-deadline acquisition Jimmy Butler. That group went 16-3 in the regular season and 1-1 in the playoffs.

Valkyries and their fans not willing to accept expansion team expectations
The Golden State Valkyries have no interest in becoming the basketball version of the 1962 New York Mets, an expansion team that went 40-120-1. No 'loveable losers' tag for this crew. The deck is deliberately stacked against the Valkies, as a first-year expansion team. They have been handed the league's castoffs, useful but expendable role players, and eager rookies, and been challenged to cobble together a squad facing a hard road to respectability. But this team has grander plans and Wednesday night at Chase Center, in the second game of their WNBA existence, the Valkyries won their first game, 76-74 over the Washington Mystics. They overcame a 2-0 opponent, an epically cold shooting night, and the weight of history, to rock a full-house Chase Center with a clutch stretch run. It was historic, and that first win could have been a long time coming. The Atlanta Dream, the last WNBA expansion team (2008) lost its first 17 games en route to a 4-30 season. The Valkyries honored the win with some celebrating. They ambushed coach Natalie Nakase with a cold-water dump in the lockeroom, causing her to attend her press conference wearing a black robe. They were all happy with the win. But it's not like they don't think there are a lot more where that one came from. Putting it in broader historical perspective was a task left to the fans and assorted observers. Taking a step back and looking at the big picture, this was the culmination of decades of pioneering in the Bay Area, where women's pro basketball in America got its start, and got several boosts along the way. It was a big step for women's basketball and women's sports. Who better to put that in perspective than Tara VanDerveer, who sat courtside Wednesday. The retired Stanford coach was the honored pounder of the Valkyries drum in a pregame ceremony. Nice full-circle moment, since VanDerveer began her basketball life as a mascot for a high school boys team, wearing a furry critter costume. You might call VanDerveer the godmother of women's basketball in the Bay Area. 'More like the grandmother,' said VanDerveer, who clearly was enjoying the spectacle of 18,000-plus fans cheering for the sport she fought so hard to build. 'When I was first at Stanford (in 1985), there were more people in the press room than in the stands. This is just phenomenal, great enthusiasm, the growth of women's sports.' Now it's a sport for everyone. Sitting (and standing) next to VanDerveer at midcourt was Brandin Podziemski, the Golden State Warriors ' point guard. He wore the No. 5 jersey of Kayla Thornton, who scored 18 points, including a four-point play that gave the Valkies a 70-65 lead with 1:03 to play. Podziemski, who was also on hand for the Valkyries' Opening Night, led cheers and held discussions with refs and opposing players. Maybe he's going to become the Valkyries' Spike Lee. 'It's nothing but amazing,' Podziemski said at halftime. 'I'm super grateful just to have this experience, it's super cool for basketball fans, so they can see basketball year 'round, it's pretty special. 'I'm going to try to be at as many home games as I can, most of them. I love basketball, you know that, so to see other people play, especially women who are really dedicated to their craft, is special. ... It's going to be exciting to see how much they can grow, this year and in the years to come.' Oh, yeah. Growth. One win does not a dynasty make, one historic night is just that. My inside sources (OK, Chronicle beat writer Marisa Ingemi) tell me that when the Valkyries lost their opener, there was plenty of social-media-world fretting about what's wrong with the team. This is the Bay Area's second pro expansion team (the San Jose Sharks debuted in 1991-92), and its first-ever arena-packing women's pro major-sports team, and you can't expect total sanity from the fan base. But the ones who have come to Chase so far are clearly in full-throated support of their team. It's a younger and more energetic crowd than at Warriors' games. Since tickets are relatively more affordable, there are more kids. Less of a country-club atmosphere. 'Fewer people walking around with cocktails,' as one security person said. The fans are ready to rock, but they're not likely to happily endure hilarious bumbling by their heroes, like Mets' fans did back in '62. Those Mets had loveable and hilarious manager Casey Stengel to put a fun face on the grim reality. The Valkyries have Nakase, who has described herself as 'super boring.' Look, she's no Casey, nobody is, but she sells herself short. She is just fine with the media, and seems a perfect fit for a young, growing team, patient and positive. She and her team have solid backing, from ownership and fans, and are determined to ride the wave of history. Before the game, Mystics' coach Sydney Johnson was asked about the impact of the league's first expansion team in 16 years. 'It's been amazing,' Johnson said, 'just to have an expansion team start off with selling out games, playing in this beautiful arena, being in a special part of the country ... Just their enthusiasm for the game, their electric pace, it's part of our future. Right away they belong.' Of course they do. They have brought women's pro basketball back home.
