Warriors’ Podziemski Undergoes Core Muscle Surgery
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski underwent successful surgery to repair a core muscle injury. He is expected to fully recover and be ready in time for training camp. This marks Podziemski second procedure this offseason, following left wrist debridement surgery on May 27. Despite the back-to-back surgeries, the team remains optimistic about his recovery timeline. The 22-year-old had a breakout sophomore season in 2024-25, averaging a career-high 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.1 steals across 64 games (33 starts). He continued to deliver in the postseason, posting 11.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals in 32.1 minutes over 12 playoff games, starting 11 of them. With Podziemski expected back by camp, the Warriors hope he continues his upward trajectory heading into Year 3.
