Kristaps Porzingis will miss the start of Golden State’s training camp in Hawaii after the team says he is dealing with a health issue. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. announces Monday at media day that the 7-foot-4 center will not travel with the team and is expected to be out indefinitely at the beginning of camp.
The outlets largely agree on the basic facts but differ slightly in emphasis. The New York Post reports that Dunleavy describes the absence as “indefinitely” and does not provide details about the condition. The Athletic adds that coach Steve Kerr says the news comes as a surprise but that the team will adjust. Yahoo Sports reports that Dunleavy does not specify what the health issue is, leaving the timeline unclear as camp begins Tuesday.
Across coverage, the key point is the lack of medical specifics and the expectation that Porzingis is unavailable for the initial phase of camp, while the Warriors plan to proceed without him.
