Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Scores 16 points with two stocks
Rotowire
Podziemski tallied 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers.
Podziemski came out flat with seven points on 2-for-10 shooting in Golden State's preseason opener, but he found his footing against a Lakers team that was resting all their main guys. Podziemski was generating a lot of buzz at training camp, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep it going Wednesday in Portland.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Limited Tuesday, won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Curry will be limited to "around 20 minutes" in Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Curry is starting again Tuesday but will be limited to roughly 20 minutes of work. However, the multi-time All-Star won't travel with the team to Portland for Wednesday's game, the second of back-to-back outings.

Warriors' Al Horford: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Horford will come off the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers and he will not travel to Portland for Wednesday's exhibition, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
The Warriors will go with a small-ball starting lineup Tuesday, featuring Draymond Green and Yaxel Lendeborg in the post, with Horford shifting to the second unit. It's unlikely the 40-year-old veteran will earn enough consistent minutes in Golden State this season to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Limited Tuesday, won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Green will be limited to around 20 minutes in Tuesday's preseason contest against the Lakers and won't travel to Portland for Wednesday's back-to-back against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
The Warriors are being cautious with Green's workload in the preseason, so he'll be limited to around 20 minutes Tuesday and won't suit up Wednesday. This is part of a long-term picture, as the idea is to have Green as healthy as possible for the start of the regular season against the Lakers on Oct. 21.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Starting against Lakers
Rotowire
Santos will start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Al Horford will move to the bench, so Santos will be back in the starting lineup versus Los Angeles. The 24-year-old is coming off his most productive campaign in 2025-26, averaging 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 20.5 minutes in 68 regular-season games, including 30 starts.

Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Remains out indefinitely
Rotowire
Porzingis (undisclosed) remains out indefinitely, per Anthony Slater of ESPN.com.
The Warriors still aren't ready to offer up a return timeline for Porzingis, who's battling an undisclosed issue. The big man carries plenty of upside on a per-game basis in the later rounds of fantasy drafts, but he's reached the 60-game mark just one time in the past eight regular seasons.
Williams has made an early impression on the Warriors with his speed and ability to put pressure on opposing defenses, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Williams recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Clippers. Coach Steve Kerr has called Williams the fastest player he's coached with Golden State, and his ability to attack in transition and off high pick-and-rolls could give the Warriors a dimension they've lacked in recent seasons.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Records two steals
Rotowire
Payton finished with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two steals and one assist in 11 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Payton made his usual impact defensively in limited action, recording two steals without committing a turnover. The 33-year-old re-signed with Golden State on a one-year deal during the offseason and should remain a situational defensive option in a crowded Warriors backcourt.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Grabs nine boards Sunday
Rotowire
Lendeborg totaled four points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 19 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Lendeborg drew the start in his preseason debut and led Golden State on the glass despite struggling with his shot. Coach Steve Kerr said afterward that he wants the rookie to be more aggressive offensively, and Lendeborg's starting assignment suggests he's firmly in the mix for a significant role early in his first season.

Warriors' Charles Bassey: Productive off bench
Rotowire
Bassey finished with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist in 16 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Bassey made an immediate impact on the glass, grabbing six offensive rebounds while tying for the team lead in scoring. With Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) currently sidelined and Golden State potentially needing additional frontcourt depth, Bassey could make a case for rotation minutes with more performances like this.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Struggles in preseason
Rotowire
Podziemski recorded seven points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Podziemski struggled from the field after earning a starting spot alongside Stephen Curry in Golden State's preseason opener. Despite the poor shooting performance, Podziemski appears positioned for a prominent role after a strong training camp, and coach Steve Kerr recently called him one of the Warriors' best players.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Efficient in preseason opener
Rotowire
Curry logged 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 12 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Curry understandably saw limited action in the team's preseason opener, but he made the most of his minutes, leading the starting five with 10 points on efficient shooting. Curry will likely continue to see limited minutes throughout the preseason to preserve his health for the regular season. The star guard played in just 43 regular-season games in 2025-26.

Warriors' Alex Toohey: Logs eight minutes off the bench
Rotowire
Toohey (knee) registered two points (1-2 FG), one assist, one steal and two blocks over eight minutes in Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Toohey sat out Summer League, as he was recovering from knee surgery, but he's now fully cleared for game action. He's competing for a spot on the Warriors' regular-season roster.

Warriors' Al Horford: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Horford is in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason matchup with the Clippers, Warriors' reporter Joseph Dycus reports.
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is out indefinitely, so Horford could open the year as the Warriors' starting center. Joining him in the first unit for Sunday's exhibition will be Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Yaxel Lendeborg and Draymond Green.

Warriors' Al Horford: Will suit up for preseason opener
Rotowire
Horford will play in Sunday's preseason game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
While Horford will be available for the preseason opener in Hawaii, head coach Steve Kerr said he will only see action in the first half and play "around 12-16 minutes." The 2007 No. 3 overall pick wasn't a routine contributor for the Warriors during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 8.3 points and 4.9 rebounds, both career lows, along with 2.6 assists and 1.1 blocks over 21.5 minutes in 45 regular-season games. Although that is likely to remain the case in 2026-27, Horford could be tasked with an enhanced role right out of the gate, considering Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) might miss time to begin the year.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Green will play in Sunday's preseason game against the Clippers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Head coach Steve Kerr stated Green, Stephen Curry and Al Horford would all be available for the preseason opener. However, all three will only play in the first half and be on the floor "around 12-16 minutes." Green most recently averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists over 27.5 minutes in 68 regular-season games in 2025-26. While his production has remained the same for the most part in the last few seasons, his numbers could improve, considering Jimmy Butler (knee) will miss the start of the 2026-27 campaign. In addition, it's unknown if Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) will be ready to go for opening night.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will only play first half
Rotowire
Curry will only play the first half in Sunday's preseason opener against the Clippers in Hawaii and should be limited to around 12 to 16 minutes, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Curry is one of three veterans who will be playing reduced minutes in the preseason opener Sunday, alongside Draymond Green and Al Horford. The Warriors are clearly trying to keep Curry in the best possible condition before the regular season after he was limited to just 43 regular-season contests in 2025-26 because of a nagging knee injury.

Warriors' Georges Niang: Seeing run at center during training camp
Rotowire
Niang was seen playing some small-ball center during Thursday's scrimmage, and head coach Steve Kerr said he's "capable of playing small-ball five, but you've got to put the right group around him," Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Kerr noted that Niang's inclusion in small-ball lineups could "really be lethal" on the offensive end, though he has some concerns with rim protection. The Warriors have plenty of experience utilizing Draymond Green as a small-ball five, and with Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed) without a timetable, Kerr could try Niang at center on occasion, especially if any combination of Porzingis, Green and Al Horford misses time during the season.

Warriors' Brandon Williams: Impressing in training camp
Rotowire
Williams has been impressive during training camp, with head coach Steve Kerr praising his speed and ability as a "defensive pest," Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Kerr called Williams the "fastest guy we've ever had," and he's made a positive impression with the Warriors thus far after signing a one-year deal with the club in late August. The 26-year-old guard was productive for the Mavericks in 2025-26, averaging 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals across 22.2 minutes per contest in 66 regular-season outings (15 starts). He'll likely fight to carve out a rotational role and figures to compete for playing time with the likes of De'Anthony Melton, Gary Payton and Will Richard.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Ticketed for bench role Sunday
Rotowire
Santos isn't in line to start Sunday's preseason opener against the Clippers, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Warriors have a pair of starting positions up for grabs due to the absences of Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (undisclosed), but it's set to be rookie Yaxel Lendeborg and veteran Al Horford claiming the spots in the first unit initially. Santos should still be in contention for a starting role at some point this preseason while Golden State mixes and matches its exhibition lineups, as Santos averaged 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest in 30 regular-season games as a starter in 2025-26.
