Warriors' Kristaps Porziņģis will remain out indefinitely due to 'health-related matter' but will be around team
It's still unclear what exactly Porziņģis is dealing with, a week away from Golden State's regular-season opener.
On Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors revealed that 31-year-old Latvian center Kristaps Porziņģis will be sidelined indefinitely due to a "health-related matter". The specifics of his condition remain unclear, as it has been a week since his latest update prior to the team's upcoming regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Porziņģis, who was drafted 4th overall in 2015 and acquired by the Warriors in a trade from the Atlanta Hawks last season, shared a statement on social media. He expressed his commitment to recovery, stating, "I'm working with doctors and experts to figure out how to be fully back to good health asap." Porziņģis acknowledged the frustrations of dealing with an elusive health issue, compounded by previous injuries, but remains hopeful, saying, "Honestly, I'm getting better and better.
I just have to stay patient, and I believe I'll be feeling great again soon." In his message, he emphasized the importance of health, saying, "Health is wealth. Thank you for all the support."
