Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Will evaluate
Kristaps Porzingis will "see what's the best direction" for him during free agency, Melissa Rohlin of the California Post reports.Porzingis will be an unrestricted free agent, allowing him to sign with any club heading into the 2026-27 campaign. Although the 30-year-old admitted to enjoying his time with the Golden State Warriors, he added that he would like to "look at the whole picture" while prioritizing his health. Porzingis began last season in Atlanta before being traded to Golden State. In 15 regular-season games with the Warriors, he averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 31.1 percent from deep across 23.7 minutes per contest. However, as has been the case throughout Porzingis' career, he had trouble staying off the injury report. Golden State reportedly wants to re-sign him, although it will presumably be for much less than the two-year, $60 million extension he inked with the Celtics in 2023, especially considering his diagnosis of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
