What happened: Prime Video scheduled a sit-down interview with rookie Yaxel Lendeborg ahead of Friday's Emirates NBA Cup slate. The broadcast profile highlights Lendeborg weeks after head coach Steve Kerr noted the rookie would likely lead the team in minutes.
Why it matters: Lendeborg has assumed primary offensive duties following an oblique injury to Stephen Curry that reshuffled Golden State's rotation. His emergence gives the Warriors steady scoring and rebounding as they contend in early-season tournament group play.
By the numbers: Lendeborg has recorded 21.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in 2026-27 through 12 games.
What to watch: The sit-down interview airs Friday night during Prime Video's Emirates NBA Cup coverage.
