Fans will likely enjoy hearing any update on Porzingis, as his status has been up and the air for most of his tenure in Golden State.
The 30-year-old forward is in the middle of another solid year with averages of 16.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field and 35.1% from three-point range in 19 games for the Hawks and Warriors.
Bobby Manning ofCeltics on CLNS wrote (on March 1): “That Kuminga-Porzingis trade was so interesting. Warriors just trying to make something happen with the latter situation stuck, Giannis trade attempt failing. ATL taking a chance on Kuminga with Porzingis long out of the mix. Probably could’ve guessed how that would go for both.”

While the Warriors are no longer the force that they once were, they are still a solid team with a 32-31 record in 63 games.
They are coming off a season where they lost in the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.
If the Warriors can get Steph Curry, Porzingis (and others) fully healthy for the postseason, they will be a tough out for any team.
