Draymond Green Staying in Golden State

The Golden State Warriors signed forward/center Draymond Green to a new contract on Tuesday. The two sides have agreed to a one-year, $27.7 million deal for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Green declined his player option and entered free agency, likely to give the team extra money to pursue LeBron James. Now that James has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, Green heads back to the Warriors on a deal worth the same as his player option. Green is entering his age-36 season and is showing signs of regression. He averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists across 27.5 minutes per game in 68 contests last season. He could see a reduced role, but he should still be a significant part of the Warriors' rotation.

Yaxel Lendeborg Sweeps Both Summer League MVP Awards

Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg was named MVP of the 2026 NBA Summer League, a vote of all 30 teams, after averaging 14.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals across six games in leading the Warriors to the title. He also landed on the All-Summer League First Team and swept the event's two MVP nods, adding it to the Championship Game award from Sunday's win over Cameron Boozer's Grizzlies. The 4.0 assists stand out for a 6-foot-9 forward: playmaking is the skill that should get him on the floor faster than a typical rookie. His immediate fantasy value stays capped on a deep Warriors roster, but the No. 11 pick graded out as one of the summer's clearest risers and a firm long-term asset.

Yaxel Lendeborg Takes Home Summer League Championship MVP

Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg capped a strong Las Vegas run with 21 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in Sunday's 94-90 Summer League title win over Memphis, earning Championship Game MVP honors. The No. 11 pick shot 9-of-18 from the floor and 2-of-6 from 3-point range while fueling a 12-point fourth-quarter comeback. The reigning national champion at Michigan brings a two-way, connector profile with real defensive upside. Redraft value is muted to start behind a veteran core of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, though Jimmy Butler opening the season on the mend from January ACL surgery could free up some early frontcourt minutes. In dynasty formats, he is a clear buy as a pro-ready rookie with room to grow.

Yaxel Lendeborg Does It All in Warriors' Win Over the Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg put together another well-rounded line in Saturday's 92-88 Summer League win over the Lakers, posting 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocks over 29 minutes. The No. 11 pick has been one of the standouts of Las Vegas, averaging 16.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over five games while grading out as the summer's top rookie by advanced metrics. He does a little of everything, the versatility that made him one of the most pro-ready players in the 2026 class. His touches will shrink on a veteran Warriors team built around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, but a do-everything 6-9 forward is the type who finds minutes anyway.

Yaxel Lendeborg Posts Double-Double in Warriors Win

Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg totaled 21 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists across 28 minutes in Thursday's 101-90 Summer League win over the Dallas Mavericks. The No. 11 pick shot 8-for-13 from the field and 2-for-4 from three-point range, helping Golden State control the game after a 35-19 second quarter. Lendeborg has carried his strong California Classic play into Las Vegas, and the fantasy appeal is clear. His mix of rebounding, passing, and shooting gives him category upside, but regular-season value will depend on how quickly the Warriors trust him with rotation minutes.

Charles Bassey Lands With Warriors

The Golden State Warriors have signed forward/center Charles Bassey to a one-year deal on Thursday. The Warriors decided not to match the offer sheet on Quinten Post, so he'll head to the Memphis Grizzlies. It didn't take them long to find another big man as they signed Bassey on what is assumed to be a veteran minimum deal. Bassey played with four organizations this past season, including the Warriors. He has bounced around in the league, but only played minutes in the teens when he was getting consistent playing time. He'll likely be a reserve option for the Warriors, but there's no guarantee that Bassey will be a significant part of the rotation.

Yaxel Lendeborg Keeps Showing Multi-Category Summer League Appeal

Golden State Warriors Gold forward Yaxel Lendeborg posted 11 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and one steal across 24 minutes in Sunday's 98-69 California Classic win over the San Antonio Spurs. The No. 11 overall pick followed up Friday's 19-point Summer League debut with another useful all-around line, though he was less efficient at 4-for-11 from the field. Lendeborg's fantasy appeal comes from the category mix, as he can rebound, pass, block shots, and stretch the floor. His regular-season value will depend on how quickly Golden State trusts him with rotation minutes.

Nick Boyd Hands Out 10 Assists in Warriors Blue Loss

Golden State Warriors Blue guard Nick Boyd recorded 11 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, and one steal across 27 minutes in Sunday's 91-85 California Classic Summer League loss to the Sacramento Kings. Boyd was one of the few bright spots as Golden State let a 10-point halftime lead slip away. The undrafted Wisconsin product is on an Exhibit 10 deal, so his path to regular-season fantasy value remains narrow. Still, back-to-back useful Summer League showings and a double-digit assist game give him a case to keep getting extended on-ball reps.

Yaxel Lendeborg Dazzles as Warriors Rout Lakers in California Classic

Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg was flawless in his summer-league debut, pouring in 19 points on a perfect 6-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from three. He added five rebounds and six assists as Golden State routed the Lakers 104-72 in the California Classic. The No. 11 pick in June's draft, Lendeborg is an older, NBA-ready rookie at 23, a two-way forward who won a national title at Michigan while averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. For fantasy, keep the excitement measured. Summer league is a tiny sample against thin competition, and Lendeborg lands on a veteran, win-now roster built around Stephen Curry, one chasing even more star power this summer, so rookie minutes come at a premium. The takeaway is a dynasty one: he's a versatile, high-floor stash to monitor. In redraft, be patient until the role is real.

Al Horford Staying with Warriors for 20th NBA Season

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford is declining his $6 million player option and intends to sign a new two-year, $14 million deal to stay with the team, according to ESPN's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater. Horford is also set to become the 13th player in NBA history to reach 20 seasons. The 40-year-old averaged 8.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.7 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 1.6 threes in 21.5 minutes last season. His fantasy ceiling is limited at this stage, but Horford can still help in threes, blocks, and low-turnover production when Golden State needs a veteran frontcourt spacer around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

Warriors Want Kristaps Porzingis Back on a Shorter, Cheaper Deal

Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis is headed for unrestricted free agency, and the team wants him back at a reduced rate, ESPN's Anthony Slater reports. The 30-year-old arrived from Atlanta at February's deadline on a $30.7 million expiring deal, and Golden State holds his Bird rights but prefers a shorter, cheaper contract this time. In 15 games as a Warrior, Porzingis averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks, giving Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler a floor-spacing big with rim-protection upside. The catch is availability. He played just 32 regular-season games last season and has dealt with recurring health issues in recent years. A healthy Porzingis remains a points, threes, and blocks source worth rostering, but his games-played history keeps him a draft-day gamble.

Draymond Green Set to Stay With Warriors

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green is expected to remain with the team in 2026-27. His name popped up in trade rumors during the season, but the Warriors seem ready to move forward with their core group. Head coach Steve Kerr has just signed a new two-year contract, and there are reportedly extension talks planned with Stephen Curry. Green holds a $27.6 million player option for 2026-27. Even at 36, Green has remained an effective player, providing a little bit of everything. This season, he averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 0.9 steals in 27.5 minutes per game.

Warriors Looking to Extend Stephen Curry in Offseason

The Golden State Warriors are expected to engage in extension talks with point guard Stephen Curry this offseason. The two-time MVP is currently under contract for one more season, but the team appears determined to keep him around for longer. Head coach Steve Kerr has just signed up for two more years with the Warriors, and it's reasonable to assume Curry will also stick around until at least 2028. Late next season, Curry will turn 39, and age could eventually affect his play. So far, Curry has continued to post world-class numbers. However, due to health problems, he played in just 43 games this season, and Curry's fantasy stock will decline if he continues to struggle to stay on the court.

Al Horford Undecided on Future

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford is undecided about whether he will wrap up his NBA career after finishing his 19th campaign, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area & California reports. "It has to do with not rushing to anything or not let emotions or heat of the moment determine anything," Horford said during Monday's exit interview. "I've done this the last few years, and it's just kind of taken time to step back and have a clear picture, look at the outlook of the team, looking at the future of the team, how things look, and also seeing kind of where I'm at and how I'm feeling." Horford, who will turn 40 in early June, has a $6 million player option for next season. In 2025-26, Horford's fantasy stock hit another low. He averaged career-low numbers in scoring (8.3) and rebounding (4.9) and struggled to stay on the floor, making only 45 appearances.

Brandin Podziemski Wants to Stay With Warriors Long-Term

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski wants to remain with the franchise for the foreseeable future, Danny Emerman of The San Francisco Standard reports. Having finished his third NBA campaign, Podziemski will be eligible to sign a rookie-scale contract extension this offseason. "I want to be here for the long term," said Podziemski. "It's always special having the team that drafted you, so hopefully we can get something done." The 23-year-old has developed well over his three seasons in the league, averaging 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in 2025-26. Podziemski was one of only 18 players in the Association to play in all 82 regular-season games. But he came off the bench in nearly half of his appearances (43). While Podziemski has performed well, his fantasy potential is capped unless he earns a regular starting role.

Kristaps Porzingis Unsure About Returning to Golden State

Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis is unsure about his future with the organization. Porzingis is an unrestricted free agent, which allows him to sign with any organization. The 30-year-old admitted to enjoying his time with the Warriors, but he wants to take time to look at the whole picture. He wants to prioritize his health, which has been a problem for Porzingis throughout his career. In 15 games with the Warriors, Porzingis averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 23.7 minutes per game. Given his injury history, it's going to be tough for any organization to give him a long-term deal. A return to Golden State makes sense, but the oft-injured center will likely take his time deciding on his future plans.

Kristaps Porzingis Cleared for Friday's Game

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) will play on Friday night against the Phoenix Suns. He came away from Wednesday's win over the Clippers with an ankle injury and was initially listed as questionable for Friday's tilt. But the team has upgraded Porzingis' status to available ahead of tip-off. Porzingis had a strong all-around performance on Wednesday, and Golden State's chances to reach the playoffs will be good if he can maintain his momentum. In 28 minutes, Porzingis notched 20 points, five rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and one steal against the Clippers.

Kristaps Porzingis Expected to Play Friday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is expected to play on Friday against the Phoenix Suns, ESPN's Anthony Slater reports. The Latvian veteran remains questionable on the injury report, but he appears ready to play through right ankle soreness. After struggling late during the regular season, Porzingis opened the Play-In Tournament with a strong performance on Wednesday, notching 20 points, five rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and one steal in 28 minutes against the Clippers. Due to his ankle issue, Porzingis might have a lighter workload on Friday night, leaving more playing time for Al Horford and Gui Santos.

Kristaps Porzingis Could Sit in Must-Win Game

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is questionable for Friday's play-in matchup for the eighth seed against Phoenix after appearing to favor his ankle following Wednesday's win over the Clippers. He posted 20 points, three triples, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks in 28 minutes in that game. If he sits, Al Horford would likely step into a larger role after logging 14 points and three rebounds in 23 minutes, making him a viable deep-league streamer. Draymond Green and Gui Santos should also see stable minutes, while Gary Payton II could pick up additional run.

Quinten Post Ruled Out for Friday's Play-In Game

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (foot) is out for Friday's eighth-seed play-in tournament matchup against Phoenix, marking his ninth straight absence due to a right-foot injury. His continued absence keeps Golden State in a tightened rotation, placing more frontcourt responsibility on Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) if cleared after posting 20 points, three triples, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks in 28 minutes Wednesday. Draymond Green and Gui Santos should maintain steady roles, while Al Horford remains a deeper streaming option for points and rebounds off the bench.
