Steve Kerr Praises Brandin Podziemski’s Impact in Warriors’ Win Over Bucks
The Golden State Warriors secured a crucial victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, despite being without their star point guard Stephen Curry. Playing on the second night of a back-to-back after a tough loss to the Denver Nuggets, Golden State showed no signs of fatigue as they took down a powerhouse Milwaukee squad.
A major boost for the Warriors came in the form of Brandin Podziemski, who returned to the lineup after missing five games due to a bilateral low back strain. With Curry sidelined, Podziemski stepped into the starting role and made an immediate impact.
Podziemski Shines in His Return
In his first game back since March 6, Podziemski delivered a standout performance, scoring 17 points and grabbing seven rebounds while shooting an efficient 6-10 from the field and 4-7 from three-point range. His energy and shooting provided a significant lift for Golden State, helping them secure the win.
Following the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was thrilled to see the young guard back in action and spoke highly of his performance.
“He looked strong,” Kerr said. “You could see his force and energy right away. It’s great to see, and hopefully, we’re able to sustain his health and ramp up his minutes. It’s fun to watch him play.”
Key Addition for Warriors’ Playoff Push
The Warriors have yet to see their fully healthy lineup since acquiring Jimmy Butler, but Podziemski’s return marks a step in the right direction. As Golden State gears up for a crucial playoff push, getting players back in rhythm will be essential to their success.
With Podziemski looking sharp in his return, the Warriors will hope to build momentum as they prepare for the final stretch of the season.
