Overview
- Steve Kerr called Kristaps Porzingis “our guy” and said the team will use the remaining regular-season games to evaluate his fit with Stephen Curry and make its case for him to stay.
- Porzingis scored 30 points with three blocks in Monday’s 125-117 win at Washington, snapping a five-game skid and marking Kerr’s 600th career coaching victory.
- After playing one post-break game, Porzingis missed six contests with a mysterious illness, which reports have linked to possible POTS, underscoring ongoing availability concerns.
- Porzingis said he is feeling better and was expected to play Wednesday in Boston in his first game there since leaving the Celtics, part of what Kerr dubbed a reunion tour of his former teams.
- Golden State acquired Porzingis on February 4 from Atlanta for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, and the Warriors can exceed the cap to re-sign him this summer under his Bird rights.
