“Porzingis is not actively disputing the lack of payments and the player's association has no plan to dispute either, league sources said.”
The Golden State Warriors are not paying center Kristaps Porzingis his $20 million salary because the team determined the absent big man is not rendering services. Porzingis, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract in the offseason, has yet to practice or play for the franchise. According to an ESPN report, neither Porzingis nor the National Basketball Players Association plans to dispute the halted payments.
Porzingis is currently sidelined indefinitely due to recurring symptoms linked to an autoimmune condition known as POTS, alongside previous health issues. Sources indicate the 31-year-old is contemplating retirement from basketball. Meanwhile, Golden State is maintaining trade flexibility ahead of the February 11 deadline rather than voiding the contract, exploring potential trade routes or a future buyout.
