What happened
ESPN reported that the Warriors and Brandin Podziemski agreed to a five-year, $110 million rookie-scale extension, with a mutual option in the fifth year and a $18.9 million starting salary next season.
The deal comes after Podziemski played all 82 games last season, started 43, and averaged 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists, reinforcing Golden State's plan to keep him in its future core.
Because the extension begins next season, it should not change this year’s rotation immediately, but it does secure a major guard piece for Golden State’s longer-term lineup planning.
