The Golden State Warriors have reportedly agreed to a five-year, $110 million rookie-scale contract extension with guard Brandin Podziemski, according to reports cited by NBA.com on October 10, 2026.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the agreement includes a mutual option for the fifth year, covering the 2031-32 season, and a trade kicker.

Career highs in his third season

Podziemski averaged 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in 2025-26, shooting 45.5% from the field. He appeared in all 82 games for Golden State.

The 23-year-old raised his scoring average in each of his first three NBA seasons. The Warriors selected him 19th overall in the 2023 draft after his time at Santa Clara.

Warriors retain young guard

The reported extension would keep the 6-foot-4 guard with Golden State beyond his rookie contract. NBA.com’s report described him as a key piece for the team’s future.

The report also noted that Golden State extended Stephen Curry in September and brought back Draymond Green, Al Horford, Kristaps Porziņģis, De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II earlier in the offseason.
