Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis will miss Sunday's game against Denver due to illness. The 30-year-old recently joined the Warriors from Atlanta and made his team debut Thursday after recovering from Achilles tendinitis.
The Golden State Warriors will be without center Kristaps Porzingis for Sunday’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets in San Francisco after the team announced he’s dealing with an illness.
The 30-year-old big man recently joined Golden State through a trade with the Atlanta Hawks earlier this month. Porzingis took the court for his first game as a Warrior on Thursday during a 121-110 defeat to the Boston Celtics at home. Playing as a reserve, he contributed 12 points along with one rebound, one assist, and one block across 17 minutes of action.
The Warriors limited Porzingis’ playing time in his return to action, marking his first game since January 7 when he suited up for Atlanta. A six-week absence due to Achilles tendinitis had kept him sidelined before the trade.
This season, Porzingis has posted averages of 16.8 points and 4.9 rebounds across 18 appearances, including 12 games as a starter.
