From KP himself:
Hello people, I'm working with doctors and experts to figure out how to be fully back to good health asap. Honestly, I'm getting better and better. I just have to stay patient, and I believe I'll be feeling great again soon.
It has definitely been frustrating dealing with some health stuff that you can't exactly pinpoint, on top of injuries throughout my career, so it has added up for sure, but we will get through it 💪🏼
Health is wealth. Thank you for all the support 🙏🏼
Yesterday, Porzingis met with Mike Dunleavy and Rick Celebrini, VP of Player Health & Performance at the Warriors practice facility.

#Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis is out indefinitely due to a heal-related matter, per team.
“An update on his status, including the potential resumption of practice, playing status or timeline, will be provided when available and appropriate,” per Warriors.

Barring any last-second changes, Game 3, 4 and 6 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta will be played at Gateway Center Arena (3,500+ seats), multiple sources tell USA TODAY.
Efforts to move games to State Farm Arena (17,000 seats) have proved unsuccessful.
