What happened

Golden State is reportedly not paying Kristaps Porziņģis his $20 million salary while he is away from the team because of recurring POTS symptoms.

ESPN reports the Warriors are still exploring a move for the 31-year-old before the Feb. 11 deadline, and there are no plans to void his contract.
