Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis will miss at least two weeks as he undergoes additional evaluations due to an illness, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
According to Charnia, both Atlanta and Porzingis are taking a big-picture view of the Latvian big man’s health in the hope of having him more available later in the season.
The Hawks have confirmed the news in a press release (Twitter link). According to the team, Porzingis will only participate in limited basketball activities over the next two weeks, after which time his status will be updated.
Porzingis, who is earning $30.7MM in 2025/26 and will be an unrestricted free agent next summer if he doesn’t sign an extension before then, will miss his third consecutive game on Sunday against Philadelphia after previously missing four straight because of the unspecified illness.
