SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Golden State center Kristaps Porzingis is still dealing
with a medical issue that has sidelined him for a week and a half.
"It's a little mysterious," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before his team
hosted the Los Angeles Clipper on Monday night. "We're obviously working with
him and hoping that he can get some clarity and he can kind of break through
and get to a point to where he's consistently healthy. But that's something
that the medical staff is working hard on with him."
Porzingis had returned to practice Friday and was listed as questionable for
Saturday's home loss to the Lakers, then missed his fifth straight game Monday
with an illness. It's unclear if he will travel for the team's upcoming
three-game road trip.
Kerr said he spoke with Porzingis earlier Monday.
"We had a good chat. He's doing fine," Kerr said. "He's obviously wanting to be
back and wanting answers and we'll keep supporting him."
The 7-foot-2 big man from Latvia made his Warriors debut Feb. 19 against his
former Boston Celtics team after being acquired in a trade from Atlanta, but
hasn't played since. He has appeared in just 18 games overall this season,
averaging 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists.
