Yaxel Lendeborg is making name for himself with Warriors

Yaxel Lendeborg is exactly who the Warriors needed. They didn’t get Giannis Antetokounmpo. They didn’t get LeBron James. Their offseason was widely viewed as underwhelming. But Lendeborg has surpassed expectations and is helping prop the window open for Steph Curry and Draymond Green to play meaningful basketball this season. Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg (1) dunks against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center in Minneapolis, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026.
