Kevin Durant’s 3-word warning about Warriors rookie comes with special sign of respect
Kevin Durant praised Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg after Houston beat Golden State 115-108 on Wednesday, calling him “a problem” because of his height and skill. Durant also left a signed jersey at Lendeborg’s locker, a gesture that underlined his respect for the young player.
The No. 11 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft has made an early impact, scoring a career-high 37 points against the Clippers and recording 31 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in a win over Denver. With Stephen Curry sidelined by an oblique tear, Lendeborg has taken on greater responsibility for a Warriors side whose prospects had looked uncertain before the season.
In short
- Durant called Lendeborg a matchup problem.
- He left the rookie a signed jersey.
- Lendeborg has delivered big games as Curry sits out.
