SAN FRANCISCO – The Warriors’ starting shooting guard underwent surgery on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Golden State announced on Wednesday that Brandin Podziemski, 22, had an operation on his left wrist and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. Podziemski shoots with his left hand.
The Warriors specified it was a debridement surgery.
Debridement “involves thoroughly cleaning the wound and removing all hyperkeratotic (thickened skin or callus), infected, and nonviable (necrotic or dead) tissue, foreign debris, and residual material from dressings,” according to UCSF’s Department of Surgery.
Podziemski averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in 64 games last season, 33 of those being starts.
The surgery could explain why the Santa Clara product struggled in the postseason, shooting just 36.4% from the field in 12 games, a steep decline from the 44.5% rate he shot in the regular season.
