“I’m really able to do this. I’m really going to be able to give her keys…It’s definitely something I will never forget.”

The 24-year-old is averaging 21.1 points per game, 7.2 rebounds, and 4 assists while shooting 50.4% from the field and 40.4% from three.
In many ways, Lendeborg has infused youth and breathed life into the Warriors offense this season. The outlook on Golden State was bleak ahead of the season, but the rookie has proven to be a bright spot in what could have been a lowly 2026-27 campaign for the team.
Lendeborg is the future for the Warriors.
