Warriors Guard Brandin Podziemski to Miss Fourth Straight Game Due to Back Injury

The second-year guard's absence continues as Golden State manages rotations and prepares for a fully healthy lineup.

Brandin Podziemski, sidelined with a lower back strain since March 6, will miss his fourth consecutive game as the Warriors face the Knicks.
Head coach Steve Kerr indicated Podziemski is progressing well but emphasized caution, targeting a potential return against the Bucks on Tuesday.
In Podziemski's absence, the Warriors have adjusted their rotation, with Gary Payton II and Jonathan Kuminga stepping up in recent games.
Podziemski has been a key contributor this season, averaging 14.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in his last eight healthy starts alongside Stephen Curry.
The Warriors remain competitive, riding a six-game winning streak while managing injuries and integrating recent returnees like Kuminga into their lineup.
