Concern among the Warriors: they still don't know when Porzingis will return

Golden State Warriors still does not have a scheduled date for the return of Kristaps Porzingis. The franchise continues to have no updates on the condition of the Latvian center, who remains sidelined indefinitely due to a health issue. Both coach Steve Kerr and player Al Horford acknowledged that they currently do not have new information regarding his situation.

Kerr referred to Porzingis's status on Thursday and explained that he intended to reach out to him to see how he was doing. However, the coach made it clear that there were no updates to communicate about his potential return to competition. Uncertainty remains after Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. announced last month that the player would be out without a defined timeline.

Steve Kerr and Al Horford, no updates on Porzingis

The Golden State coach confirmed that he still cannot provide a forecast on the return of the big man. "I will get in touch with KP today to see how he is, but there is no news to report," Kerr stated on Thursday.

The coach's words keep unchanged the scenario surrounding the player, whose absence still lacks a known end date. For his part, Al Horford also acknowledged that the team has little information about his health status and that, in the meantime, their priority is to wait for him to recover.

"We simply don’t have much information," said Horford. "So I think, for us, what’s important is to wait for him to recover and improve. And, for our part, to keep moving forward."

For now, the Warriors have not communicated when Porzingis might return to the lineup. The franchise continues to await news, and neither Kerr's nor Horford's statements provide a timeline for his return.

The Warriors renewed Porzingis for two seasons

The situation comes after Golden State opted to keep the center on their roster during the offseason. The Warriors renewed Porzingis with a two-year, 40 million dollar contract, a move that ensures his continuity with the team beyond the current season.

However, the announcement of his indefinite absence due to a "health issue," in the words of Mike Dunleavy Jr., keeps his availability in question. The franchise still does not have an estimate for his return, and for the moment, both the coaching staff and his teammates continue to lack concrete information to share.

The main question remains when Porzingis will be able to return to play. Until the Warriors have more concrete information, there is no estimated date for his return.
