Warriors' Steve Kerr Gives Concerning Kristaps Porzingis Injury Update as 7-Footer Remains Quiet
Warriors officials say the center’s return timetable is still unclear after they ruled him out with a health issue before preseason play.
- The Golden State Warriors will be without Kristaps Porzingis for tonight's preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Chase Center. Golden State officials confirmed Tuesday that his health-related absence and return timetable remain indefinite.
- Warriors head coach Steve Kerr described the situation as "definitely concerning," though the team has not disclosed a specific diagnosis. Porzingis previously dealt with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, though no official confirmation links that to his current absence.
- The 31-year-old center signed a 2-year, $40 million extension in June, but has appeared in more than 57 games just three times. When healthy, the 7-foot-2 player provides legitimate rim protection and floor spacing the Warriors currently lack.
- With the regular season opener against the Lakers scheduled for October 21 at Crypto.com Arena, the team has roughly two weeks for the center to return. For now, the organization remains unable to provide a firm timeline for his comeback.
- General Manager Dunleavy stated at media day that he hoped for a return soon, yet the team must prepare for the regular season without their key acquisition. The Warriors acknowledge they can survive his absence, though it complicates rotation plans.
