The Golden State Warriors are in New York to finish off a five-game road trip with a visit to old friend D’Angelo Russell and the Brooklyn Nets. And, in keeping with a theme on the road trip, they’re once dealing with a potential injury. Less than a minute into the first quarter of Thursday’s game, starting shooting guard Brandin Podziemski signalled to the bench that he needed a substitution. Podziemski then walked straight to the team’s locker room, while holding his lower back.
Brandin Podziemski is leaving the game in pain in Brooklyn in the first minute tonight.
