‘Concerning’ update emerges on Kristaps Porzingis’ situation

Golden State Warriors big man Kristaps Porzingis does not appear close to game-ready ahead of the 2026-27 NBA regular season. Porzingis was reported to be out indefinitely with a health issue in late September, and head coach Steve Kerr provided little clarity on Tuesday when he admitted he had not yet seen the Latvian center.

The update adds to ongoing concerns regarding Porzingis' availability throughout his career. After signing a two-year, $40 million contract extension with Golden State in June, the 31-year-old remains sidelined ahead of the Warriors' regular season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on October 21.
