Warriors plot LeBron-AD cap comeback after Porziņģis deal

CBS Sports outlines a potential Golden State path to landing LeBron James and Anthony Davis after signing Kristaps Porziņģis: use Draymond Green’s opt-out to free cap space for a non-taxpayer midlevel exception, possibly shuffle Moses Moody’s contract, and pursue trades (potentially swapping Jimmy Butler’s deal for Davis) to fit the money. The plan hinges on tight cap math, willing trades, and favorable early-year salaries or options, but the piece argues the LeBron–AD duo for the Warriors remains a viable if complex possibility.

Kuminga Becomes Free Agent as Hawks Decline $24M Option

Atlanta declined Jonathan Kuminga’s $24.3 million option for 2026–27, making him an unrestricted free agent, though the Hawks still own his Non-Bird rights and could use the full non-taxpayer mid-level exception with roughly $27 million below the luxury tax. Kuminga, 23, joined Atlanta in a February trade that sent Buddy Hield to Golden State for Kristaps Porzingis after a mixed spell with the Warriors. The Kings have shown renewed interest as Kuminga weighs his next opportunity and potential suitors will have leverage in free agency.

Porzingis returns, but Warriors fall short in OKC late run

Kristaps Porzingis returned for Golden State and logged 23 minutes with 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but the Warriors couldn’t capitalize late and shot poorly from the line in a 104-97 loss at Oklahoma City. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 27 points and iced the game with a late dagger three as Golden State, short-handed without Curry and Butler, fought back with a jumbo lineup that included Porzingis. Gui Santos had a career-best 22 points and Brandin Podziemski added 17, 6, and 6 in a tough road defeat ahead of back-to-back games.

Curry-Porzingis duo stalls as health woes derail Warriors’ plans

Curry-Porzingis duo stalls as health woes derail Warriors’ plans

Golden State’s plan to pair Steph Curry with Kristaps Porzingis has not materialized due to Curry’s runner’s knee sidelining him and Porzingis’s intermittent illness and chronic injury history. Curry is out for at least 10 more days and Porzingis has played very little, with Kerr and the organization uncertain about when they’ll be able to co-star. The team remains hopeful Curry returns before the playoffs, but Porzingis’s health and consistency make the experiment high-risk and uncertain.

Kerr Learns to Leave Medical Diagnoses to Professionals

Golden State coach Steve Kerr admitted he overstepped in discussing Kristaps Porzingis’s illness after doctors had diagnosed a condition (POTS) that Kerr had questioned; he later said medical matters are beyond his qualifications. Porzingis remains out indefinitely as the Warriors navigate injuries and lineup uncertainty following the trade and his ongoing illness.

Warriors face health haze as Porzingis illness, Curry’s return, and Santos extension shift lineup

Warriors notes: Steve Kerr walked back remarks about Kristaps Porzingis’ diagnosis, clarifying Porzingis is dealing with a contagious illness (not POTS) and is improving after missing games. Stephen Curry remains out with a runner’s knee but reports progress toward a return. Gui Santos earned a three-year extension and has carved a starting role, while guard Will Richard exited Saturday’s game with a sprained right ankle. The team continues to navigate health and lineup moves amid a crowded roster and injuries.

Warriors Chase Giannis, Land Porzingis: Deadline Dilemma

The Golden State Warriors swapped Jonathan Kuminga for Kristaps Porzingis at the NBA trade deadline, a move the column treats as a modest fix that leaves the roster thin beyond Curry and Green while Porzingis carries health concerns (POTS). It criticizes the front office for chasing blockbuster deals instead of steady, incremental improvements and questions whether this path truly strengthens a championship window.

Porzingis Centerpiece: Warriors Trade Kuminga, Hield to Hawks

The Golden State Warriors traded Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis, who averages 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game and is on an expiring contract. Kuminga had requested a move due to a limited role, while Hield is averaging 8.0 points per game. Porzingis could slot into Golden State’s lineup alongside Curry, Podziemski, Moody and Green. Separately, the Warriors sent Trayce Jackson-Davis to Toronto for a 2026 second-round pick, and their pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo appears over.

Thunder's Gilgeous-Alexander Halts Celtics' Winning Streak in Thrilling OKC Showdown

The Boston Celtics' win streak came to an end with a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, despite a strong comeback attempt that saw them pull within 2 points. Kristaps Porzingis scored 34 points and Jayson Tatum added 30, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Thunder's 40-point third quarter and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 36 points. The Celtics showed resilience but were ultimately undone by the Thunder's performance, including 18 successful 3-pointers and 50 points in the paint.
