Warriors Reportedly Receive Encouraging Update on Long-Term Plans With Rising Star

Golden State Warriors see rising star Brandin Podziemski as central to their long-term plans. The 23-year-old, 6-foot-4 guard averaged 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in a breakout season, playing all 82 games. Steve Kerr re-signed with the team for another year, reinforcing continuity. Anthony Slater reports there is openness to a contract extension toward the October deadline. Podziemski has expressed a desire to stay with the Warriors, the franchise that drafted him, and an extension would solidify the core around Kerr’s system.
