Veteran center Kristaps Porzingis is expected to return to the Golden State Warriors practice facility Tuesday afternoon, according to coach Steve Kerr.
Porzingis has been away from the Warriors for the first two weeks of preseason while attending to what the team is deeming a private "health issue."
It's not immediately clear when the Warriors anticipate Porzingis will return to the court. They will be in Las Vegas for a preseason game Tuesday when Porzingis is expected to arrive at the team's San Francisco facility and meet with Rick Celebrini, its lead medical decision-maker.
Two seasons ago, Porzingis contracted an upper respiratory virus while playing for the Boston Celtics, and he has since vaguely revealed the lingering impact it has had on his health and ability to consistently play NBA basketball.
