Golden State Warriors Coldly Clear Out Kristaps Porzingis’ Locker

The Golden State Warriors have completely cleared out center Kristaps Porzingis' locker, removing his nameplate and personal items. According to beat writer Dalton Johnson, the locker now stands empty following Porzingis' recent announcement that he is stepping away from basketball to focus on his health. The center has missed every game this season due to illness after re-signing as a free agent.

Joey Haverford writes that the swift move signals the franchise has moved on and lacks faith that Porzingis will return this season. Porzingis, who remains under contract without pay while away, was previously acquired from the Atlanta Hawks. The article notes teammate Draymond Green expressed bitterness about the situation as the team manages injuries to Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody.
