The Golden State Warriors announced on October 10, 2026, that they had signed guard Brandin Podziemski to a contract extension.

The NBA reported the agreement as a five-year, $110 million deal that would run through the 2031-32 season, with a mutual option for the fifth year.

A career-best season

Podziemski, 23, appeared in all 82 games for Golden State in 2025-26, one of 18 NBA players to do so, according to the NBA report.

He averaged career highs of 13.8 points and 45.5% shooting from the field, alongside 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Warriors cite his development

Coach Steve Kerr said he was pleased for Podziemski and his family, and described the agreement as a positive outcome for both the player and the team. Kerr said the deal would allow Podziemski to focus on basketball heading into the season.

General manager Mike Dunleavy said Podziemski had continued to improve since entering the league and praised his durability and two-way play. The Warriors said the extension was completed before the deadline.

A long-term place in Golden State

The agreement keeps the 6-foot-4 guard under contract as part of the Warriors’ plans for the future. The NBA report said the mutual option gives both sides the choice to renegotiate the fifth season or part ways.
