HOUSTON – Golden State could be down a starter for Game 2 of the Western Conference first round playoff series. Brandin Podziemski participated in Wednesday’s pregame shootaround and was later listed as questionable with an illness on the injury report. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Podziemski will go through warm ups before the team makes a decision.
“He wasn’t feeling well, probably something he ate, and not contagious,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “There’s no risk to anybody else if he plays.”Podziemski scored 14 points and was a team-best plus-17 in the Warriors’ 95-85 Game 1 victory in the Toyota Center.
The Santa Clara alum also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds in a game where Houston outrebounded Golden State 52-36. He has been the team’s regular starter since Feb. 13, a few days after the Warriors made their blockbuster trade for Jimmy Butler.
The second year shooting guard has averaged 11.7 points per game this season..
