The Warriors and Brandin Podziemski agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year, $110 million rookie-scale extension with a trade kicker and a mutual option in 2031-32. The 23-year-old played all 82 games last season and set career highs with 13.8 points per game. Golden State kept the first-year salary at $18.9 million to protect cap space for 2027.
