After being selected with the 11th overall pick by the Warriors in the 2026 NBA Draft, Yaxel Lendeborg has been busy getting settled in with his new team.

Lendeborg hilariously found out where his locker is: next to future Hall of Famer Steph Curry.

During Lendeborg’s introductory news conference with the Warriors this week, he joked about how he grew up hating Curry because the rookie was a big Kyrie Irving fan.

When Lendeborg was shown his locker, he immediately burst into laughter and said, “Did y’all do this on purpose right here?”

Immediately after he questioned his locker location, Lendeborg approached his locker filled with joy because he will be next to one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.

Filled with emotions, Lendeborg was told by someone in the group made up of Warriors officials and friends and family members of his and second-round pick Lajae Jones, “They say if you sit close to someone, their shooting skills will rub off on you.” To which Lendeborg jokingly replied and said, “I need that. I definitely need that.”

Regardless of how Lendeborg felt about Curry and the Warriors before, that all seems to be in the past. The young rookie was thrilled to see his locker, with his jersey hanging inside for the first time. He asked if he was allowed to hold it.

Standing in front of his locker with his jersey in his hands for the first time, Lendeborg was emotional and admitted he was about to cry again.

When Jones saw his locker for the first time, he was also in disbelief, as the two young stars realized their dreams were now reality.
