Warriors Make Stunning $20 Million Decision on Kristaps Porzingis
The Warriors are reportedly withholding Kristaps Porzingis' salary payments while exploring trades involving the veteran center.
The Golden State Warriors have made a significant decision regarding veteran center Kristaps Porzingis by withholding his $20 million salary for the 2023-24 season, as the team explores potential trades for the 31-year-old. Porzingis, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract extension with the Warriors in the offseason, has been absent from the team due to ongoing health concerns.
The NBA deadline for trade transactions is Feb. 11, and the Warriors have determined that Porzingis is not fulfilling his contractual obligations by not rendering services to the team. Despite this, the organization can still trade his contract before the deadline. Porzingis has appeared in only 15 games last season, averaging 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds, and the Warriors are now considering the implications of his unresolved playing future.
