Kristaps Porzingis, Warriors address growing concern over health issues

The Golden State Warriors have confirmed that Kristaps Porzingis has returned to the team’s practice facility after missing all of training camp and preseason games, though his timeline for a return to on-court action remains uncertain. The 31-year-old center, acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in February, has been dealing with persistent health issues—including a lingering respiratory condition—that have limited his availability, including just 15 appearances in 27 possible games since the trade.

Despite speculation about his condition, Porzingis addressed concerns directly on social media, emphasizing he is in professional care and making progress, though no specific diagnosis or recovery timeline has been provided by the team or medical staff. His return to the Warriors follows a two-year, $40 million contract extension signed in June, aimed at addressing Golden State’s need for interior defense and size at the center position.
