Porzingis, who did not play in the Warriors' Sunday showcase against the Nuggets, is also uncertain to join the team's upcoming two-game road trip.
After just recently making his Dubs debut after a long wait since his trade deadline acquisition, Kristaps Porzingis is back on the inactive list.

The Latvian star reportedly did not suit up for the Golden State Warriors' Sunday matchup against the Denver Nuggets due to an illness.
This marks the latest concern for Porzingis amid an injury-riddled season.
In the pregame of the team's weekend clash against the Nuggets, head coach Steve Kerr offered significant updates on Porzingis' unavailability. As such, he's noncommittal about the center playing in their next two games.
The Warriors will be on the road to face the Pelicans and the Grizzlies in back-to-back sets for Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
“I haven't talked to him, but just got a text this morning that he was sick and at the hotel, and he's not even going to come over here,” he told reporters.
Illness isn't something new for Porzingis. Earlier this 2025-26, he notably missed 14 games with a similar condition.
Warriors fans can only hope Porzingis will recover as soon as possible, as Stephen Curry is still under a lengthy recovery timeframe in his "runner's knee" issues.
Draymond Green, Al Horford and Quinten Post will continue to anchor the Dubs' interior with Porzingis sidelined.
