Brandin Podziemski barely got a chance to break a sweat before his night was over. Just seconds into Thursday’s game against the Nets, he pulled up in pain, motioned to the bench, and made a beeline for the locker room. The Warriors initially left the door open for a return, listing him as questionable, but by halftime, that hope was gone—they ruled him out for the rest of the game.
Tough timing, too. Podziemski had been balling out lately, putting up 19 points in back-to-back road games. Now, instead of building on that momentum, he’s stuck dealing with an untimely lower back injury. After a long five-game road trip, the Warriors are finally back at Chase Center on Saturday night.
Their first test at home? A showdown with the Pistons, the second meeting between these teams this season. But Golden State won’t be at full strength—Brandin Podziemski won’t be suiting up for this one.
This is a developing story…
