Warriors, Brandin Podziemski reportedly agree to 5-year extension
Podziemski is now under contract with Golden State through at least 2030-31.
The Golden State Warriors and guard Brandin Podziemski have reportedly reached a five-year, $110 million extension, according to various sources. ESPN's Shams Charania broke the news first. Podziemski, 23, had been in the final year of his rookie contract when the Warriors selected him with the 19th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
The guard has played in roughly half of his games over the past three seasons, averaging 11.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per contest. Podziemski had his career-best 13.8 points per game last season, when he appeared in every one of the Warriors' 82 games. His new deal kicks off with an $18.9 million salary in the 2027-28 season, featuring a mutual option for the 2031-32 season and includes a trade kicker.
If Podziemski had reached restricted free agency, the Warriors would have needed to retain a $17 million salary cap space for him, making the new contract a relatively minor impact on Golden State's anticipated cap situation next summer.
