Overview
- Brandin Podziemski underwent left wrist debridement surgery this week in Los Angeles to clear damaged tissue from his shooting hand.
- Moses Moody had a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb repaired less than a week before Podziemski’s procedure.
- The Warriors expect both 22-year-olds to make full recoveries and be available when training camp opens this fall.
- Podziemski’s wrist surgery may explain his 9-for-40 start in the Western Conference semifinals, when he shot 22.5 percent from the field.
- These procedures come as the Warriors look to avoid last postseason’s injury setbacks—including Stephen Curry’s hamstring strain—to maintain a healthy backcourt next season.
