Kristaps Porzingis to Meet with Warriors’ Medical Team After Extended Absence
Kerr said Porzingis will meet with Rick Celebrini for a medical evaluation as Golden State tries to assess his readiness before the preseason game.
- On Tuesday, Golden State Warriors big man Kristaps Porzingis is scheduled to visit Chase Center to meet with the team's medical staff, ending a two-week absence from the organization.
- Porzingis has been away from the team since late September due to an undisclosed health issue that head coach Steve Kerr previously described as "concerning."
- Rick Celebrini, the Warriors' director of sports medicine and performance, will meet with the 30-year-old to evaluate his physical status and determine a potential return timeline.
- Head coach Kerr did not commit to including the center in the rotation for the October 21 season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, noting that next steps remain undetermined.
- With the regular season opening in nine days, Golden State is preparing for the possibility of beginning play without the 7-foot-2 center, who remains out indefinitely.
