The Golden State Warriors walked into Target Arena with Brandin Podziemski in place of an injured Stephen Curry. They headed with a serious mission ahead of Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
While Curry was nursing a hamstring injury, all eyes remained on Brandin Podziemski, who had to step up in a big way.
However, a funny incident happened to Podz while he was on his way into the arena with his teammates. While he was about to step into the backyard of the arena, Timberwolves security accidentally closed a door right in his face.

It was a funny incident, and luckily for everyone, Podziemski took it in stride and didn’t let it faze him.
Soon after the video went viral, fans on the internet started poking fun at the moment.

With Curry out, Brandin Podziemski’s role on the court became even more important.
Along with Buddy Hield, Podziemski is tasked with keeping the Warriors’ offense moving when they need it most. Coach Steve Kerr has also praised Podziemski for his contributions this season.
However, the funny pregame incident left the NBA fans in stitches.
“Hope his takes that personal and gets me those two 3 I need on the slip,” a fan commented.

Hopefully, the Minnesota security needs to be a little cautious about not closing the door. Who knows, Podziemski takes it to heart and drops a 30+ on the same night.
