Porziņģis Misses Sixth Straight Game Amid Health Concerns, Contract Talks

Kristaps Porziņģis will miss his sixth consecutive game Thursday due to a "mysterious illness," having played only 17 minutes since being acquired by the Golden State Warriors at the trade deadline. While he's making progress and accompanying the team, his consistent unavailability and a controversial POTS diagnosis raise significant health concerns. With only 20 games remaining, the Warriors face a conundrum regarding committing to a substantive contract this summer without sufficient on-court evaluation of his fit and durability.
