Brandin Podziemski Reaches First 30-Point Game, Revives Viral X Account

The breakout underscores his growing role heading into the Warriors’ play-in week.

Overview

  • Podziemski poured in a career-high 30 points in the Warriors’ 124-118 loss to the Kings in Sacramento on Friday.
  • His 30th point came on a free throw with 4.5 seconds left, marking the first 30-point game of his 219-game NBA career.
  • He shot 9-for-15 from the field, 3-for-8 from three and 9-for-10 at the line in 32 minutes, leading Golden State in scoring.
  • An X fan account called “Podziemski’s Gravity” (@currysnotafraud) that vowed on Nov. 25, 2024 not to post until he scored 30 reactivated after the game, which Podziemski acknowledged by saying, “The account can be activated now.”
  • Stephen Curry made a lighthearted Devin Booker joke about the milestone, though his own night was muted after an early ankle scare as the Warriors turn to the play-in.
