The Warriors have a growing concern amid their dominant preseason run. Tonight, the Bay Area hosted the Detroit Pistons without their superstar, Steph Curry. The 4x NBA Champ jammed his index fingers in the last outing, igniting the first setback of the season. And, to further worsen it, the team’s trusted sophomore guard, Brandin Podziemski, rushed to the locker room after a head injury. Will Steve Kerr have to slow down his proceedings to keep his roster, heading into the regular season?
After winning three on the trot, the Warriors faced the struggling Pistons. The team went without their core, Draymond Green and Curry, and still managed to produce a dominant 111-93 win. However, amid this comfortable outing, Podz, who played the game as a starting PG, took a blow to his head off Trayce Jackson-Davis’ arm during an off-ball movement and fell on the floor. Following that, the rising star rushed to the locker room along with training staff, as per Danny Emerman, a Bay Area New Group reporter.
Brandin Podziemski heads into the tunnel with training staff after appearing to injure his head. Looked like he got some friendly fire from Trayce Jackson-Davis when trying to curl around him for a handoff.
Podziemski has 12 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds tonight vs. pistons
