Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg has bought a house for his mother, describing the experience as a moment when he felt he had “truly made it”. He shared the surprise in a YouTube video and later told reporters he would never forget being able to give her the keys.

The 24-year-old was selected 11th overall by Golden State and has become an important part of its offence alongside Steph Curry. He is averaging 21.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and four assists per game, while shooting 50.4% from the field and 40.4% from three-point range. His performances have offered a bright spot for the Warriors in the 2026-27 season.
