Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Double-doubles with six assists
Rotowire
Lendeborg produced 23 points (10-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block over 24 minutes in Saturday's 111-106 preseason win over the Kings.
After a lackluster preseason debut, Lendeborg has caught fire over the past two, scoring efficiently while bringing a little bit of everything to the box score. He should start for the Warriors right away and makes for an intriguing late-round target on draft day.

Warriors' Georges Niang: Scores 13 points on six shots
Rotowire
Niang (rest) recorded 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 19 minutes in Saturday's 111-106 preseason win over the Kings.
Niang skipped Wednesday's exhibition in Portland, but he was back in the mix Saturday and played well off the bench. Niang should be a rotation player for the Warriors this season, but his game doesn't really translate in fantasy leagues.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Goes scoreless over 19 minutes
Rotowire
Payton (rest) contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes in Saturday's 111-106 preseason win over the Kings.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Fails to score Saturday
Rotowire
Melton finished Saturday's 111-106 preseason win over the Kings with zero points (0-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal.
Melton was on the court for Saturday's exhibition game after not playing against Portland on Wednesday. It wasn't exactly a great showing from the veteran guard, who failed to score a point while finishing with a minus-13 point differential. Melton is expected to serve as the top rotational guard off the bench for the Warriors this season, operating behind starters Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski.

Rotowire

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Starting vs. Sacramento
Rotowire
Lendeborg (rest) is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Kings on Saturday, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Lendeborg was rested for Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, but the rookie first-rounder will be in the Warriors' starting five for Saturday's contest. The Michigan product is attempting to carve out a consistent role for himself for the 2026-27 season, and he has a path to do so seeing as both Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) are expected to be sidelined for a sizable chunk of the upcoming campaign.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Gets five-year extension with Golden State
Rotowire
Podziemski (rest) and the Warriors agreed to a five-year, $110 million contract extension Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The deal is a fully guaranteed, rookie-scale contract extension that includes a mutual option for the 2031-32 season. Podziemski is coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged career highs in points (13.8) and three-pointers (1.9) while starting in 43 of 82 regular-season games. Podziemski figures to start alongside Stephen Curry (rest) in the backcourt to open the 2026-27 season, though that could change once Jimmy Butler (knee) is cleared to return, which likely won't be until after the calendar flips to 2027.

Warriors' Al Horford: Ready to play Saturday
Rotowire
Horford (rest) is expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Kings, per Nick Friedell of The Athletic.

Ike notched 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
Ike saw significant run off the bench on a night the Warriors were short on available bodies. A two-way player, Ike is likely to be sent to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors once the preseason is finished.

Warriors' Dalen Terry: Nears triple-double in preseason loss
Rotowire
Terry played a whopping 43 minutes in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Trail Blazers, scoring 23 points (9-18 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and adding nine assists, eight rebounds and four steals.
The 24-year-old forward got a big opportunity as the Warriors rested most of their key rotation players, and Terry took advantage. He faces an uphill battle to crack the NBA roster, but the 2022 first-round pick offers some experience if injuries create an opening. Terry split last season between the Bulls and Sixers, averaging 11.5 minutes over 48 regular-season contests.

Warriors' Miles Kelly: Impresses off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Kelly scored a game-high 24 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
The 23-year-old guard is only on a training camp deal and is expected to begin the season in the G League, but Kelly may have given the Warriors something to think about with Wednesday's strong performance. He made his NBA debut with the Mavericks last season after going undrafted out of Auburn, averaging 9.6 minutes over 14 regular-season games.
