Impact Podziemski was hit in the face late in Wednesday's game, which was particularly concerning because he broke his nose during the preseason. However, Podziemski has avoided another break and doesn't seem to be at risk of a long-term absence. Podziemski finished the contest with three points (1-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 15 minutes. His next chance to play will come Friday at New Orleans for the first game of a back-to-back set.

Game-time decision Friday Coach Steve Kerr said that Podziemski (illness), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, will go through warmups before a decision is made on his availability,...

Impact Podziemski is in jeopardy of missing his second straight contest, though his ability to go through warmups successfully will decide his availability. The 21-year-old is expected to be a game-time decision, and his status should be something to monitor ahead of tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. If the second-year pro is ruled out, Gary Payton will likely see an increase in playing time.

Won't play Wednesday Podziemski (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Podziemski left Monday's win over Washington early due to an illness and will miss his first game of the season Wednesday. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game in Cleveland. The Warriors have a 12-man rotation, so Podziemski's missing minutes will likely be distributed to whoever has the hot hand.

Listed as questionable Podziemski (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact The Warriors previously removed Podziemski from the injury report, so this is a worrying sign for his fantasy managers. On Monday night against Washington, the guard tried to play through his illness but left the game for good in the third quarter. If Podziemski is unable to play, Moses Moody and Gary Payton would be candidates to see increased run.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Listed available for Wednesday Podziemski (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Podziemski tried to play through an illness Monday in Washington, but he ended up calling it a night in the third quarter. Before moving to the bench in favor of Stephen Curry (ankle) and Gary Payton on Monday, Podziemski had drawn three straight starts while Curry was sidelined and averaged 14.7 points, 6.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals in 36.7 minutes per game. With Curry back, Podziemski likely won't see that type of usage moving forward, but he's a key part of the Warriors' deep and talented backcourt this season.

Impact Podziemski called out of the game early in the third quarter and went back to the locker room due to an illness. The 21-year-old has seen an increased role (three starts) this season due to Stephen Curry (ankle) missing time, though Podziemski played 20-plus minutes in all six of his appearances before Monday. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Celtics.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves Monday's game Podziemski (undisclosed) went to the locker room during Monday's game against the Wizards, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear what caused Podziemski to leave Monday's game, but he is back in the locker room being evaluated by trainers. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga should see more playing time while Podziemski is being sidelined.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench Monday Podziemski is not in the Warriors' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Wizards, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Podziemski started in each of the Warriors' last three regular-season games, and over that span he averaged 14.7 points, 6.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 36.7 minutes per game. However, he will be in a reserve role for Monday's game as Golden State inserts Gary Payton into the starting five.

Posts another modest showing Podziemski posted 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 38 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 127-121 overtime win over the Rocket...

Impact Podziemski shouldered a heavy workload in his third straight opportunity with the starting lineup, though it was Golden State's bench who did the majority of the damage on the offensive end. The former first-round pick out of Santa Clara did manage to lead his team with six assists. It's clear that Podziemski isn't the best or even second best scoring option for this team even with Stephen Curry (ankle) out, but he's capable of scoring in double figures and producing for fantasy managers across the board so far this year.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Posts 19 points with first unit Podziemski amassed 19 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Podziemski served as Stephen Curry's (ankle) replacement during Tuesday's win, and he responded with a well-rounded performance. With Buddy Hield alongside him, the backcourt was on point compared to the Warriors' frontcourt, which relied on the bench to bolster its fortunes. Curry should return soon, but Podziemski is likely to start again if Curry's absence is extended.

Getting starting nod Podziemski is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Podziemski will replace Stephen Curry (ankle) in the starting five Tuesday. Podziemski is averaging 6.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.7 minutes across three appearances this season but should see an uptick in playing time now that he is entering the starting lineup.

Fails to score in victory Podziemski finished with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Podziemski was a candidate to start this season after the departure of Klay Thompson but came off the bench in Golden State's regular-season opener. However, the 21-year-old guard's 25 minutes played suggest he will still be heavily featured in the backcourt rotation. Podziemski also posted a team-high plus-34 point differential without scoring.

Drops 16 off bench Friday Podziemski scored 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding four rebounds, three steals and two assists in 21 minutes off the bench during Friday's 132-74 preseason rout of...

Impact While De'Anthony Melton got the start at shooting guard for the Warriors, Podziemski saw just as many minutes and was more productive. The second-year player missed Tuesday's game due to a broken nose, he wore a mask Friday and didn't seem to have any issues. Podziemski will be counted on this season to replace some of the offense lost when Klay Thompson left for Dallas, but it's still not clear if he'll get a chance to start in the backcourt alongside Stephen Curry.

Expected to play with mask Podziemski (nose) is still waiting for a mask and won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers in Las Vegas, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact While Podziemski will miss Tuesday's contest, he's expected to be fine and play through a broken nose once he acquires a fitted mask, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
