What Earned Podziemski the Deal
The extension follows his best season. Podziemski played all 82 games in 2025-26. He was the only Warriors player to do so and one of just 18 in the NBA. The guard set career highs across the board, averaging 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.08 steals in 28.5 minutes. He shot 45.5 percent from the field.
His scoring has risen in each of his first three seasons. Golden State drafted him 19th overall out of Santa Clara in 2023.
Warriors Leaders Praise the Move
General manager Mike Dunleavy said the guard makes the team better every time he plays. “He’s a durable, skilled, two-way player that makes our team better each time he takes the court,” Dunleavy said.
Head coach Steve Kerr called it a win-win. “I’m thrilled for Brandin and his family, really happy for us,” Kerr said.
What It Means for Golden State
The deal is the latest in a busy stretch for Golden State. The team extended Stephen Curry and re-signed Draymond Green, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II. Much of the veteran core is staying put.
For Podziemski, the deal brings security and higher expectations. The Warriors are betting last season’s steady two-way play is only the start. He now has five years to prove that faith was well placed.
