Long Steph Curry soundbite on his early impressions of Yaxel Lendeborg “You can tell he wants to make the right play.” Via @anthonyVslater on X

What happened: Curry called Lendeborg open-minded, curious and listening. He added the rookie wants to make the right play and is not afraid. Golden State is in camp ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: Kerr has said Lendeborg will play a ton with starter or bench role still to be decided. Early backing from veteran stars shapes rotation trust entering the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Golden State continues camp with rotation roles to be settled in the coming weeks.
