How Warriors’ rookie Brandin Podziemski fared in Summer League opener

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:40:41 GMT

Brandin Podziemski’s first action in Warriors threads was a mixed bag.The Golden State Warriors’ 19th overall pick showed flashes of promise as a decision-maker and scrappy guard in the Summer League opener against the Sacramento Kings, a 100-94 loss on Monday night in the first of two California Classic games at Golden 1 Center.Podziemski, 20, passed on some open shots initially, scoring four points through the first three quarters. But he settled into a 12 point with some late scoring, including a three-pointer in the fourth quarter.“The next step with him is we got to find ways as a staff to put him in position so he can be more of a scorer, looking to score,” Summer League head coach Jacob Rubin said. “He’s been good for us getting in the paint and facilitating, we just got to find a way for the ball to find him a little bit more.”What stood out was Podziemski’s playmaking out of the pick-and-roll. He had six assists and was aggressive on the boards with six re...

Orioles’ Hicks answers expected boos in the Bronx with HR in 2nd game back against Yankees

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:40:41 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The mere mention of Aaron Hicks’ name at Yankee Stadium is drawing boos, a reaction the former Yankees outfielder expected on his return to the Bronx.Booed in pregame introductions, jeered during a brief tribute video Monday night and booed before each at-bat, the reception for the now-Orioles outfielder is everything Hicks thought it could be. There were even a few more boos Tuesday, when Hicks homered in his second game back in New York after the Yankees released him on May 26, ending his eight-year, injury-filled tenure with the team.“I definitely enjoyed my time here,” Hicks said “I enjoyed being a Yankee. I enjoyed the team and it’s just kind of one of those things, a little disappointing, but at the same time it’s like they’re going to do what they’re going to do and I can’t control that.”Hicks hit a 372-foot drive off New York’s Clarke Schmidt a few rows deep into the right-field seats for his fifth homer since joining the Orioles on May 30, after Cedric...
