Quick Summary

Golden State Warriors are facing serious concerns about Kristaps Porzingis's future with the team due to his prolonged absence and health issues. The star center, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract extension this offseason, has not participated in training camp or any games so far during the 2026-27 season. ESPN’s Anthony Slater reports that the Warriors have essentially stopped planning for Porzingis's return, with head coach Steve Kerr told to consider him unavailable indefinitely. This absence leaves a significant gap in the team's frontcourt lineup, forcing players like Draymond Green and Graham Ike to fill in despite their limitations.

Story summary

The Golden State Warriors face growing concern that star player Kristaps Porzingis may never play again for the team, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN. Porzingis signed a two-year, $40 million extension with the Warriors in the offseason but has not been with the team since missing training camp due to health issues. The front office has instructed head coach Steve Kerr to plan without Porzingis, leaving Draymond Green to fill in at center despite his height disadvantage. This absence has contributed to the Warriors' poor start to the season, with a 1-3 record and significant challenges in their frontcourt lineup.
