Warriors Provide Updates on Podziemski, Payton II, and Kuminga After Nets Victory

Golden State's Steve Kerr shares positive news on injuries as the team continues its strong playoff push.

Brandin Podziemski exited the game against the Brooklyn Nets just 44 seconds in due to back soreness but is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Steve Kerr.
Podziemski, who recently became a starter, has shown improved stats since mid-February, averaging 14.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in his last eight games.
Gary Payton II returned to action against the Nets after missing a game due to a nasal fracture, wearing a protective mask and contributing nine rebounds in 20 minutes of play.
Jonathan Kuminga remains sidelined with an ankle sprain sustained in January, with Kerr noting the injury was more severe than initially expected but expressing optimism about his progress.
The Warriors have won eight of their last ten games and currently hold the sixth spot in the Western Conference, positioning themselves well for a potential playoff run.
