Kristaps Porzingis to miss Warriors training camp with ‘health issue’

· California Post

SAN FRANCISCO — Kristaps Porzingis is dealing with a “health issue” and won’t participate in Golden State Warriors training camp that starts Tuesday in Hawaii.

General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. dropped the unfortunately unsurprising news Monday morning at the team’s media day. He said that the 7-foot-4 center would be out “indefinitely” and would not board their flight Monday afternoon to Hawaii but couldn’t share more details.

Porzingis was limited to only 15 games last season after the Warriors acquired him from the Atlanta Hawks but ended the season healthy in Golden State’s play-in loss.

Dunelavy said that Porzingis was in the building, cleared medically and working out on the court as recently as last week. He said that he wasn’t informed of Porzingis’ issue until Sunday.

The Warriors have two other significant pieces recovering from injuries in Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody. Both players have progressed to light on-court activities and will join the team for training camp.
