Overview
- Citing reports published Tuesday, the Warriors have ruled Porzingis out indefinitely and he did not travel with the team to their Hawai'i training camp or play in preseason games.
- Head coach Steve Kerr said he has not yet seen Porzingis in person and called the situation “definitely concerning.”
- General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. told reporters he is not ruling Porzingis out for the start of the season but gave no timeline for a return.
- The team has not released a diagnosis; Porzingis previously disclosed a POTS diagnosis and long bouts of illness that cost him extensive time over the past two seasons, but there is no confirmation those issues explain this absence.
- Porzingis’ uncertain status forces Golden State to adjust rotations and strategy before the Oct. 21 opener and means the next meaningful update will likely come from team medical briefings or a timeline ahead of that game.
