What happened: Golden State ruled Kristaps Porzingis out indefinitely with a health issue. The designation keeps him sidelined for the start of training camp.

Why it matters: Porzingis enters his second season with Golden State after agreeing to a two-year, $40 million deal in June. His absence thins the Warriors frontcourt as preparations for the 2026-27 season begin.

What to watch: Watch for Golden State's next medical update and who absorbs his frontcourt reps in camp.
