“Get better soon Podz. The team has your back,” one fan said in response.

Podziemski has been a pleasant surprise for Coach Steve Kerr’s team this season. He reportedly has a lower back strain following his tough moment against the Celtics.
The number 19 overall pick in the draft has earned key minutes for a team that is rife with veterans. Podziemski is averaging 8.3 points and 5.0 rebounds on better than 45 percent shooting from the field this season so far.
