Warriors Commit $110 Million to Brandin Podziemski’s Future
The Warriors agree to a five-year, $110 million extension with Brandin Podziemski, making a major investment in their future.
The Golden State Warriors have committed $110 million to guard Brandin Podziemski for his future, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The five-year, fully guaranteed rookie-scale extension includes a mutual option for the fifth season and a trade kicker. Podziemski, a 23-year-old from Santa Clara, has quickly become one of the team's most versatile young players since being drafted 19th overall in 2023.
He has proven his value by increasing his scoring average from 9.2 points in his rookie season to 13.8 points in the 2025-26 campaign, while also adding rebounds and assists. Podziemski's development has become even more significant with the departure of longtime star Klay Thompson, creating an opportunity for him to take on a larger role alongside Stephen Curry.
His durability and versatility have been especially valuable for a Warriors team dealing with injuries to key players. The Warriors believe Podziemski can help usher in the franchise's next chapter, and his commitment signals their confidence in his potential.
