Kristaps Porziņģis to miss start of Warriors training camp with health issue

Golden State forward Kristaps Porziņģis will remain behind as his club travels to Hawaii, sitting out the opening of preseason workouts due to an undisclosed medical concern. General manager Mike Dunleavy indicated there is currently no specific timetable for the 31-year-old's return, though management expressed confidence following a two-year contract extension signed by the Latvian veteran during the summer.

Meanwhile, teammates Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody are making progress from their respective knee surgeries and will travel with the group despite being limited to extremely light rehabilitation exercises on the floor. Head coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the unexpected setback regarding Porziņģis but emphasized that the group intends to move forward while monitoring the situation.
