Overview
- Before facing the Lakers, Kerr called his radio remarks disputing a POTS diagnosis a “stupid mistake” and said he won’t discuss medical diagnoses going forward.
- The Warriors continue to list Porzingis out with a general, contagious illness that Kerr said caused significant fluid loss; he practiced Friday, was listed questionable, then was ruled out Saturday.
- Kerr said the team will keep monitoring Porzingis and that his status for Monday’s game against the Clippers is to be determined.
- Porzingis previously told The Athletic last year that doctors identified POTS, and he has appeared in just 18 games this season, averaging 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 blocks.
- Acquired from Atlanta for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, Porzingis has played only one of eight games since joining Golden State, as the Warriors also navigate Stephen Curry’s ongoing knee absence.
