Stephen Curry has addressed Kristaps Porziņģis’ uncertain injury status as the Golden State Warriors navigate a difficult start to the 2026-27 NBA season.

The Golden State Warriors expected Kristaps Porziņģis to man the starting center position through the 2026-27 campaign, but the Latvian big man is still working through health issues that have kept him sidelined.

The Warriors have been urged to trade Kristaps Porziņģis and draft picks for a former All-Defensive wing amid his uncertain future.

As the Golden State Warriors withhold his salary, the Latvian big man says he is not healthy enough to play up to his standards.

The Golden State Warriors remain "determined to trade" Kristaps Porziņģis, per NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, even after the veteran center announced Friday that he was stepping away from basketball.

The Golden State Warriors trade for Domantas Sabonis, the NBA's top rebounder, as a Kristaps Porzingis replacement in a new proposed idea.

Porziņģis has been away from the team since late September. He met with general manager Mike Dunleavy and vice president of player health and performance Rick Celebrini in mid-October; after that meeting, the Warriors announced that he would be "around the team," but that has thus far not been the case, at least publicly.
