Warriors Reportedly Withholding Payments From Kristaps Porzingis
ESPN reported the Warriors have halted Porzingis’ $20 million salary while they weigh trade options and he remains away from the team with POTS.
- On Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors stopped paying Kristaps Porzingis his $20 million salary, ruling that the 31-year-old center is "not rendering services" while remaining away from the team.
- Porzingis has missed the entire season dealing with recurring symptoms from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome , despite signing a two-year, $40 million contract with the Warriors this past summer.
- ESPN reported Porzingis is "not actively disputing the lack of payments," losing $218,341 per game while his salary continues counting against the Warriors' salary cap and tax apron.
- Golden State is actively exploring trade options for Porzingis before the February 11 deadline, maintaining that the team has "no current plans on voiding" the contract to preserve flexibility.
- NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that trade interest is "unlikely to materialize immediately" as Porzingis leans toward ending his NBA career, though absorbing the deal could allow a rival to clear a roster spot via buyout.
