Warriors Center Kristaps Porzingis Dealing with Health Issue, Won't Travel to Hawaii Training Camp
General manager Mike Dunleavy said there is no timeline for Porzingis’ return, though the Warriors still hope he can play in the season opener.
- On Monday, Golden State Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy announced that starting center Kristaps Porzingis is out indefinitely with a "health issue," forcing him to miss training camp in Hawaii.
- The 31-year-old center has missed 90 games over the last two regular seasons, often stemming from a mysterious health problem that emerged after a respiratory viral illness in February 2025.
- Golden State signed Porzingis to a two-year, $40 million deal this summer, though only $3 million of his 2027-28 salary is guaranteed to maintain financial flexibility.
- With teammates Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody already working through knee injury rehabilitation, Porzingis' absence places immediate responsibility on veterans Al Horford and Draymond Green.
- Despite keeping details private, Dunleavy is not ruling out a return for the October 21 season opener against the Lakers, stating, "I'm not marking him down as being out to start the season.
