Kristaps Porzingis will remain out indefinitely with a private health-related issue, the Golden State Warriors announced Wednesday, but the veteran center will remain around the team.
"I'm working with doctors and experts to figure out how to be fully back to good health [as soon as possible]," Porzingis said on social media. "Honestly, I'm getting better and better. I just have to stay patient, and I believe I'll be feeling great again soon."
Porzingis called general manager Mike Dunleavy on the eve of training camp and informed the organization that he wouldn't be reporting. He didn't attend the team's trip to Hawaii and missed the first five preseason games.
While his coaches and teammates were in Las Vegas for a preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, Porzingis returned to the Warriors' downtown San Francisco facility and met with Dunleavy and lead medical decision-maker Rick Celebrini.
