The Golden State Warriors are not delivering semi-monthly payments to veteran center Kristaps Porzingis on his $20 million salary, league sources told ESPN, ruling that the currently absent center is not rendering his services.

The Golden State Warriors are withholding semimonthly salary payments from center Kristaps Porzingis after ruling that he is not rendering his services. General manager Mike Dunleavy and the front office are exploring trade options for Porzingis' expiring contract ahead of the February 11 trade deadline, even as the 31-year-old reportedly leans toward ending his NBA career.
Porzingis stepped away before training camp following a two-year, $40 million summer extension. The Warriors have updated his official status to "not with team" rather than an excused absence, and neither Porzingis nor the NBPA currently plans to dispute the withheld payments.
