Overview

  • On June 10, Podziemski successfully had surgery to repair a core muscle injury, his second procedure since the postseason.
  • He previously underwent a May 27 operation to debride his left wrist following late-season soreness.
  • Podziemski averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals over 64 games in his breakout 2024–25 season.
  • Fellow rookie Moses Moody also had offseason surgery to repair a thumb ligament, keeping both guards on a recovery timetable.
  • Both players are expected to be fully recovered in time for the start of training camp, bolstering Golden State’s backcourt depth.
