Won't make Warriors debut Saturday
Porzingis (Achilles/recently traded) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
Porzingis was acquired by the Warriors on Wednesday from the Hawks in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield. Porzingis has been sidelined for a number of games this season due to an illness, but he's been listed on the injury report with left Achilles tendon injury management. The veteran center's next chance to suit up is Monday against the Grizzlies.

Unlikely to debut Saturday
Porzingis (illness/recently traded) will join the Warriors in Los Angeles on Friday but is unlikely to play against the Lakers on Saturday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis
Porzingis was acquired by the Warriors on Wednesday in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield. Porzingis is not available for Thursday's game against the Suns, and assuming he's ruled out Saturday, his next chance to make his Warriors debut is Monday against the Grizzlies. The veteran big man has been recovering from an illness and has not appeared in a game since Jan. 7.

Traded to Golden State
The Hawks traded Porzingis (illness) to the Warriors on Wednesday in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
Porzingis was dealt from Boston to Atlanta over the offseason, but the veteran big man has played in just 17 of Atlanta's 52 games this season due to a variety of injuries and illnesses. Porzingis will get a fresh start with Golden State, a team that just lost Jimmy Butler (knee) for the season. Porzingis missed 13 straight games before the trade, 12 due to left Achilles tendinitis and one due to illness. Once healthy and settled in, Porzingis will likely serve as the Warriors' starting center, slotting in alongside Draymond Green in the frontcourt. Porzingis is all but guaranteed to be unavailable for Thursday's game against Phoenix, which means his GS debut could come Saturday against the Lakers.

Tabbed questionable
Porzingis (illness) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against Utah.
Analysis
Porzingis was scratched from Tuesday's game because of an illness, and the ailment could prevent him from suiting up Thursday. Before Tuesday, Porzingis had missed 12 consecutive games due to left Achilles tendinitis. Even if available Thursday, Porzingis would likely have his minutes monitored.

Late scratch with illness
Porzingis (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
The Hawks had cleared Porzingis to return from a three-week absence due to left Achilles tendinitis earlier Tuesday, but now the star big man is battling an illness. His next chance to play comes Thursday against Utah. With Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) ruled out, Mouhamed Gueye is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues and Christian Koloko in deeper formats.
February 3, 2026
Upgraded to available
Porzingis (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's game against Miami.
Analysis
Porzingis is ready to return from a three-week absence with left Achilles tendinitis. Given the lengthy stay on the sidelines, the star big man is likely to face a minutes restriction Tuesday. Porzingis has averaged 13.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 19.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.
February 2, 2026
Questionable for Tuesday
Porzingis (Achilles) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Porzingis has missed the past 12 games due to left Achilles tendonitis, and while a questionable tag doesn't guarantee he'll play, it does signal progress toward a return. If Porzingis remains sidelined Tuesday, Mouhamed Gueye and Christian Koloko will be tasked with holding things down at center with Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) already ruled out.
