What happened
Steve Kerr said Kristaps Porziņģis is expected at Chase Center on Tuesday to meet with the team’s medical and performance staff, but he would not say whether the center is already ruled out for the Warriors’ opener against the Lakers.
Porziņģis has still been away from Golden State through the third week of preseason, after general manager Mike Dunleavy previously called him out indefinitely with a health issue and the team had projected him as its starting center.
Golden State’s frontcourt rotation remains unsettled because Porziņģis’ status is still unresolved and Kerr also said Al Horford’s minutes may push him toward a bench role. The team will have more clarity only after Porziņģis is evaluated and discussed with staff.
