WarriorsPodziemski, Moody Undergo Surgery on Shooting Hands

Both guards are headed for full recoveries before training camp to bolster Golden State’s depth following playoff shooting woes.

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.
