Warriors Kristaps Porziņģis out indefinitely to open camp
Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porziņģis is out indefinitely due to an undisclosed health issue as the team begins training camp. This adds to the team's ongoing concerns regarding player health and availability for the upcoming season.
Why it matters
The health status of key players significantly impacts the competitive outlook and strategic planning for NBA franchises.
There's no doubting that the Golden State Warriors will enter the 2026-27 NBA season with a whole lot of talent. Instead, the question with the Dubs has always been whether they can stay healthy, with Steph Curry and Draymond Green 's mounting list of ailments, Jimmy Butler III's ACL, and Moses Moody 's patellar tendon.
The biggest injury question mark, however? That of Kristaps Porziņģis . After trading Jonathan Kuminga for him at February's deadline, the Warriors somewhat surprisingly gave Porziņģis a two-year, $40 million extension to kick off the offseason.
