Kristaps Porziņģis Remains Sidelined as Warriors Scramble for Alternate Lineups

Kristaps Porziņģis has missed nearly two weeks with an unclarified health issue, leaving the Golden State Warriors adjusting their lineup plans 12 days before the regular season. Director of sports medicine Rick Celebrini made contact with Porziņģis, but head coach Steve Kerr admitted the big-man rotation remains a work in progress. Porziņģis’ absence impacts Kerr’s desired 5-out offense, forcing Golden State to weigh starting Al Horford, Draymond Green, or younger options.
