“Brandin Podziemski underwent surgery yesterday to repair a core muscle injury, Warriors announce,” Anthony Slater of The Athletic wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “It occurred midseason, forced him to miss games and clearly still bothered him into the summer. Podziemski also had wrist surgery recently. He's expected to be ready for camp.”
For Warriors fans, this was unexpected news. Podziemski looked sharp late in the regular season and even stepped up during the playoffs, showing no obvious signs of being hurt.
At just 22, Podziemski averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals in 27 minutes across 64 regular-season games.
In the postseason, he took on a bigger role, logging 11.3 points, 5.0 boards, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals in 32 minutes per game over 12 playoff matchups.
