The Golden State Warriors are going to host Houston Rockets for Game 3 in the ongoing first-round NBA Playoff series on Saturday, April 26 at the Chase Center. The main concern for the Golden State Warriors would be whether their star player Brandin Podziemski features against Houston Rockets or not.
Will Brandin Podziemski play against Houston Rockets?
The 22-year-old shooting guard doesn't see his name on the team's injury report as it is omitted from it. He was forced to leave Game 2 against Rockets in the first quarter due to illness. He even missed the second period but later returned to action after halftime.
However, he was clearly looking in discomfort as he was struggling with stomach illness, which prevented his game on the court. Despite being listed as questionable before Game 2, Podziemski still choose to give it a try and even play.
But, his stomach illness did take a toll on his body as he was not able to perform at his usual best. With the Warriors giving him the green signal to play Game 3, it suggests that Brandin Podziemski has clearly recovered and is ready for the clash against the Rockets.
Brandin Podziemski only played for 14 minutes during Game 2 and was unable to make an impact on the stat sheet. He went o of 5 from the field, including 0 of 2 from beyond the arc, failing to convert any of his shots.
The seven game series is currently level at 1-1. There is uncertainty over the availability status of Jimmy Butler ahead of Game 3. The Warriors would hope that Podziemski recovers in time and steps up to provide further assistance to legendary Stephen Curry. The shooting guard has already shown moments of brilliance and proved his metal in crucial times. He is one player who doesn't shy away from the spotlight.
