Overview
- Golden State’s official report lists Kristaps Porziņģis out for Houston, marking a sixth straight missed game since his Feb. 19 debut.
- Despite staying on the bench for the trip, the team has provided limited details on the illness that Steve Kerr called “a little mysterious.”
- Porziņģis has appeared once for the Warriors after the deadline deal that sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta.
- General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. says he feels good about the organization’s pre-trade medical evaluation of Porziņģis.
- Multiple Warriors remain sidelined — including Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, with Moses Moody out due to a wrist sprain — adding pressure to near-term results and complicating offseason choices on the expiring center.
